I will ask again as many may not have seen my post a few days ago ( I can't even find it!). Has anyone used "tearaway/washaway" stabilizer? If so what is your opinion of it? I did order some and I am anxious to try it. Hugs, Nadyne

I think I'm having a "senior" moment.... The ads I read say that mesh stabilizer is great for dense designs.Does this mean that it can be used where regular cutaway is used? I know that regular cutaway seems very heavy and not pliable.I am wonder
