Ok cuties to my rescue please. I have bought the cream fabric & the pink sashing & I have some yellow too. I am planning on creating a baby quilt with the polyester batting in the middle. Unfortunately I forget what I am suppose to use for stabilizer when I embroider the baby designs on the blocks? Normally I use warm & natural so it acts as the backing but since I am going to use the polyester batting I need something that won't show through. Any thoughts on what I should be using? I was thinking fusible but that may be wrong?

I generally use tear away under most the designs I stitch for quilts for our NICU. I hoop my tear away, run my basting stitch, lay down the fabric centered for the design placement then run the basting line a second time to hold the fabric, stitch out the design etc. Fusible would also work, it is just more expensive than plain tear away so I tend to save my fusible for knits. I have used most types of batting at one time, or the other, using these methods. Look forward to seeing the quilt you make! Pam

the only thing I have in fusible is not wide enough for the quilt block. Tear away sounds like a good option to leave in.........thanks Pam.

If you have cutaway handy this cut the same size as the block works well, it gives an extra layer of warmth I find. Are you doing a quilt as you go method or a normal pieced top, this would make a difference to your decision..

Hi Lor...Depending upon the density of the design, I would just use tear-away....if a dense design I would use no-show mesh...

thanks so much Kim. I took the labels off to use some of what I have on another project so now I don't know which is which?
If you can tear it, it's a tearaway, if not a cutaway Cut a small piece and put in water to see if it's a wss. Hold it up to the light. If you can see a shiny glue surface on either side, it's an iron on. The weight of each product is more diffiult
