cheryl99 1 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 I bought a Patch Kit with water soluble stabilizer. I have a pattern for a free standing butterfly and the instructions say to use this stabilizer. The problem is it won't hold the thread, It starts by threading 1/2 the outline, when it starts the wing it looks stringy and eventually puts a big hole in the stabilizer. I even tried tripling the stabilizer and the same thing happens. I would appreciate any feedback on this. It's a beautiful pattern. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forum.embroideres.com/forums/topic/3447-making-patches-with-disolvable-stabilizer/
auksesh 5 Posted September 25, 2018 Share Posted September 25, 2018 You should use heavy water soluble stabilizer, 75/11 needle ( not thicker) and reduce machine speed at least to 600 stitches per min. Try to stitch one of included designs first, it should work. If your free design is tearing a hole, place another piece of wss on the back side and keep stitching. Also, if you see that stabilizer won't hold the design, hoop two layers at once. 1 Quote Link to comment https://forum.embroideres.com/forums/topic/3447-making-patches-with-disolvable-stabilizer/#findComment-11300
