Confused?
- Q: Wow, this is confusing, how do I sort it out?
- A: In our book, Sulky Secrets to Successful Stabilizing, we have a chart called, "Beginner's Guide to Machine Techniques for which Sulky Stabilizers are used". This will simplify the confusing world of stabilizers for you. In this chart we list techniques, (such as Battenburg Lace, Buttonholes, Cutwork, Decorative Stitching, Applique, Liquid Stabilizing, Monogramming, 3-D work, Trapunto and many, many more) and the suggested stabilizer for each technique.
- There are no hard and fast rules in the stabilization process anymore. We have so many choices, and our consumers keep finding more and more ways to do it "right". This book also tells you all about all nine stabilizers, as well as KK 2000 and Puffy Foam. It has charts and graphs to help you choose the right needle, fabric, stabilizer and thread for each job. Many of these hints were contributed by embroidery professionals around the world. If you are a beginner in machine embroidery, I cannot recommend it highly enough. In addition, it's not just a dry informational book. There are over 25 step-by-step full-color projects and ideas, and tips from over 35 sewing professionals. This 136-page book also makes a great gift for your sewing friends. If you are unable to find it locally, it can be purchased through catalog sources. (See the Mail Order section of this website.) The suggested retail price is $19.95 U.S.
