Some use different for different projects, however I use one that sticks onto the back of the material for everything and would not do without it.

Hi that sounds good I have been looking on eBay UK

I am also in the UK at the moment, buy the sticky Stabiliser from Barnyarns(Google them and you will also see them on line).
By mail order. Tel: 0870 870 8586.
Very helpful. They sell lots of things for your embroidery, ask for a catalogue too.

http://www.lordsewing.co.uk is a good source of embroidery 'stuff'. They have a big sale yearly which are well worth keeping a eye out for. I post here usually. I am still working my way through a huge roll that I got there almost two years ago. At the moment I have a piece of fabric that I got in a pound shop that is ground covering. (A friend uses this all the time with great success). I think we all have our different first choice of stabiliser.
