denpopov Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I got Brothers SE 400 and struggling to learn for embroidery. I read lot of them online. I am new to this forum and would like to ask you all about better stabilizers for children's t-shirts. I heard about light, medium and heavy weight. Are they awesome to use? Please let me know.

sherry Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Ballpoint needle is overwhelming for knit fabrics and always use an iron-on stabilizer for knits. Two layers might be necessary if the design is dense. Quote Link to comment
denpopov Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 Not really, ballpoint needle also cannot perform the task very well. Last night, I tried it but I got hole in the t-shirt. Quote Link to comment

AlexAbramov Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 For t-shirt and onesies, I personally recommend medium weight cut away. That should be even or uneven. This helps (threads) to provide excellent registration. For receiving enhanced output, you should stitch t-shirt etc. to the stabilizer before design stitching. I would say, better, try out test stitching on a t-shirt before starting actual one. Quote Link to comment
lindarnold Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 You can go http://www.designsbysick.com/backings.php for finding appropriate design. I love them very much. It has very high-quality stitching capacity. You should have sprayed to attach fabric rather using stabilizer that does not iron very well. Quote Link to comment
