This tearaway stabilizer has a light fusible coating and was developed for embroidery on lightweight cotton, shirtweight denim, linen and other woven fabrics that tend to distort or stretch when they are hooped or when the embroidery is forming. The uniqueness of this product is the fact that it is fusible. This eliminates the need for messy spray adhesives which leaves a residue on the needle, machine and fabric. By fusing the stabilizer to the back of the garment/fabric, embroiderer’s are more successful in hooping because the garment will not stretch out of shape. Most importantly, the stabilizer is attached to the entire area where the embroidery will be stitched unlike spray adhesives which only “spot” tack and allow shifting of the fabric. Floriani Heat N Sta is also well liked because it offers a clean tear from around the design.
To use Heat N Sta Tearaway:
Fuse one layer of Heat N Sta to the back of the fabric to be embroidered. Be sure to use a piece at least one inch larger than the outer parameter of the hoop to insure proper stabilization. *Important – Use a low to medium temp (260°F (120°C) Silk Setting). Do not touch the surface of your iron to the Heat N Sta,
press from the fabric side or use a press cloth (muslin or cotton).
NOTE: All irons heat differently. The iron temperature given above is a starting point.
If you find that you are not getting a good fuse, slowly increase your irons temperature
until you achieve a good bond between the fabric and stabilizer.
