Does anyone know if I can use "non woven interface (slightly backing with adhesive) to replace cut away or tear away stabilizer? Thanks

Do you iron it on or just use it loose?

I just used it in black on the jacket backs I am doing. I needed black stabalizer and we all know how easy that is to find in our fabric stored..LOL. So I took a chance and bought the iron on black interface by pellon and it worked great!!

Hi Vicki, Not sure exactly what you mean. Are you referring to the interfacing that I would iron on for stiffening collars and cuffs when dress making???
Yes...here in the states it is made by pellon. These jacket backs I am doing are 8.5" X 12.5" and what I am doing is using a large piece of sulky sticky in the jumbo hoop and underneath that I am adhering a piece of the black pellon interfacing (it is iron on but am not using it as such)I am adhering it with 505 spray. Then I stick the back of the jacket to the sticky so I don't have to hoop it. After embroidering, I cut the pellon off around the design from the back first, then carefully peel the jacket off the sticky so that I don't have to rehoop, then I just cut a piece of sticky to fit over the hole in the sticky I made by removing the jacket, adhere another piece of pellon on the back, put another jacket on the fresh sticky and off I go. On these jumbo hoops it would be a fortune to rehoop each time you do a full design, especially when you have a big order like I am in the middle of. I can do about 4 or 5 jackets before I have to rehoop a whole piece of sticky......and the pellon interfacing is a whole lot cheaper than to order black stabilizer especially in the size I would need for this jumbo hoop. I think it was $2.49 a yard an it is as wide as a bolt of fabric.....is this as clear as mud....LOL...hope not, Sarah...........Vicki
Thanks Vicki - I will be in touch when I get home. We leave tomorrow (Tues) and will be home late on Wednesday. Sarah.
