How To Store Embroidery Stabilizers?

Many machine embroidery stabilizers look alike, and are available in several weights. So it may be a good idea to keep them in the original packaging or in clearly marked nylon bags. Here is a list of identifying info to write on your bags:

1. Name and type of stabilizer
2. Weight of stabilizer
3. How it's used
4. Brand (to make sure you re-stock only the good ones)

I take the outside package part and stick it in the tube.

Great idea. Thank you

I buy large 10 or 20 meter rolls and place on standetoilletpapier roll holders, cut and cover them with old pants of jeans, and label the type of stabilizer

Recently I made felt covers for slap bracelets that have the type of stabilizer embroidered on them. These should be easy to see at a glance.

I do like others - I keep the stabilizer with the label. I store my WSS in plastic bags - it is very dry here and things like topper become too brittle if not stored tightly.
