I need advice about stabilizer--I have always used the stabilizer at my Brother sewing center, or ordered from EmbroiderThis. Price is a big consideration. Now that I've tried ITH projects, I need some more tear-away, and don't know the best brand. I bought some by-the-yard stuff at wal-mart and it was awful. What and from where should I get? I need wash away and tear away.

I but my tear-away & cut-away at Walmart. They quit carrying the wash-away at our store so I get it from my local embroidery shop.

I bought some cheap tear-away from Wal-Mart, and it was a sort of mesh. I hated it--it would tear as I was hooping it. Probably all my fault.

I have been getting mine at JoAnn's fabric department, with a coupon! I have had no problems and they have all they types that I like except for the peal and stick for t-shirts.

I don't think about JoAnn's too much, we're over 100 miles away from any JoAnn's store. I should look online for them!

I just bought a big roll of the tear-away from WorldWeidner (12" x 50 yd) it is more heavy-weight than the Floriani I had been using but it is much less expensive to use too (and seems to work just fine for all my ITH things). I also use Sovly Stiffy - which is a very crisp clean tear-away (I get that at Joann with a coupon) for my smaller hoop projects. I have had fine service from WorldWeidner (bought from them several time). Good luck and have FUN!

Thanks. I've heard the Weidner name several times now, so I'm definitely going to look at that site.

I didn't even know they made cotton stabilizer! Good to know!
Does it shrink or is it preshrunk?

Thanks for all your suggestions. I found a 10" x 100 yard roll medium weight tear-away (sold by ThreadArt) on Amazon for $19.99. It was cheaper on the Thread Art site itself, but shipping and tax brought it up higher than Amazon. Hope I made a good purchase!

MUST we use stabelizer? I've used buckrum, used in sewing to stiffen collars and cuffs, for many projects and my son brought me a 1 meter x 25 meter roll for like $20.!! I just cut with a scissor close to the finished stitches and it works well.

I have used regular interfacing before, and it has done well.

I have bought from designs by sick. Their prices are great, especially if you wait for a sale, and the stabilizer has all been good quality. Even with postage to NZ, it is better than I can get here, and some types that I can't even get here.

I've looked at their designs, but never their stabilizer. I'll have to check that out. Thanks.

I used to us the Pellon Stitch and Tear that I bought by the bolt with a coupon at Joann's. But now I use Floriani and it is wonderful. It has shorter fibers so it tears away cleanly and much easier.
I just bought a Tear and Wash Tearaway Backing from Emstore. It was 20"x25yds for $10 on sale from the Embroidery Store. I've never used it before. Didn't know there was such a thing. It's a tearaway that washes away.
