microfleece and stabilizer

Featured Replies

Hi,


 


 


I was trying to use a no show cutaway. Was that fine? Its for a scarf which am making so will it get washed or something like that? Its a microfleece so its a really thinner soft fleece.


 


Cheers

Would a medium cut-away or tear-away work? I have those. (got them with the machine) I thought the thicker cut-away might feel stiff under the fleece. Does that stuff ball up and fall off after washing/drying? (I always think of blankets that get those "lint balls" that collect in the inside corners and of course you can get to them because they are inside the blanket.


Some information on cut-away stabilizer - it won't act the way you want, so you'll need to carefully cut away which is not below the stitches or its going to be there always.

One more thing to ask!!

I should cut away stabilizer between words that is the "just" and the "dance" (just like space at bottom of "just" and top of "dance")

Its up to you - the back of stitches will be showing or the scarf is backed with some more fabric? If its going to be hidden then its probably best to leave words 'connected' , but if the back will be visible then I would try to get rid of the stabilizer as much as possible.  :)
