1 – Analyze the nature of your embroidery project. Things to consider include the following:
1.1. What type of item are you going to embroider? Think embroidery of bedding sets, chevrons, patches, baby items, bags, accessories… The item is to be considered at first because its nature determines components to be used in the project.
Example 1: Choosing stabilizers for machine embroidery of baby-wear will have you think of the following: the technical part and the comfort. This (technical) part means the use of the correct stabilization, thread tension, etc. What’s more, you will have to think of how comfortable the piece will be after the décor’s been applied. This part is about fine-tuning the stabilizer's choice according to comfort and durability requirements. With baby-wear, you’ll have to avoid using harsh materials. So think such cheap substitutions of proper backings as spunbond, is out at once. Another thing about extra comfort is the addition of “cover-the-back” backing.
Example 2: Choosing stabilizers for machine embroidery of napery sets (napkins, table cloths) and towels. Planning such projects will have you think of the “pretty” backside of the embroidery. “Pretty” backside means no cut-away stabilizers. Sometimes it will veto even the use of tear-away ones. What does such a turn of events leave you with? – Wash-away and heat-away backings.Let’s add a few more things about the towels, as you’ll have to think of their fabric texture too. Terry-cloth, waffle of microfiber will add another correction stabilization-wise. With such fabrics you will have to use some type of toppings, probably paired with extra adhesion. You see the weave of such fabrics isn’t too stable. Thus, backing/topping will need to bind the fibers so they won’t move under the pressure (of hoops, needles, etc.)
