Spray on Stabilizer, Anyone ever use this

I'm wondering if anyone has ever used the spray on stabilizer and if so, how did it work/or do? I bought some thinking it was adhesive when I was doing some In-The-Hoop Candy Cane Holders. It certainly doesn't work for adhering stabilizer to the material. Got to looking and it said Spray on Adhesive. I'm working on T-shirt material.


You can use spray starch as a stabilizer it is good for light fabrics such as silk etc. Soak it good and let it dry.


It actaully Depends upon the fabric, it is necessary to use some other lightweight stabilizer while hooping. 


Test. The spray-on adhesive is used differently. You hoop your stabilizer and then spray it. You then smooth on the fabric and stitch your design. This is very useful if you are using a fabric which might be marred by hooping.

 I have used spray on adhesive before while doing in the hoop candy cane holders but the place where I always get my spray on adhesive no longer carries the solvy spray on adhesive and I mistakenly bought the spray on stabilizer. I went ahead and used it tonight on t-shirt material but used another stabilizer with it. It seemed to work better than just the stabilizer by itself. I bought some adhesive spray (not the brand I always use) and it gummed up my needle and caused my thread to continually break. I started just taping the material on the back for the in-the-hoop candy canes and it worked much better than the spray on adhesive. I will have order online the Sulky spray on adhesive. It great for adhering stabilizer to material. Hope this helps someone else. Thanks.
