HBI H.B.I. Products Tear Away Embroidery Stabilizer 1.8 oz Medium Weight 15" x 50 Yd Roll for Machine and Hand Embroidery

This product is great for machine embroidery users. Especially those who use extra large hoops. I used it on the 360x350 majestic hoop. It didn’t buckle or bunch up, it stayed firm enough across the entire hoop. I had to take out stitches and it held its shape to be able to restitch in the area. It’s east to tear when removing but doesn’t tear while using it. It removes easy around delicate stitching. I’ll I close a picture to show. Noticed around the turtles head and fins. I would highly recommend this product. It’s easy to use. It has great stability and is durable. It is actually quite soft. The only change I would make is, I would like different packaging. I would like to be able to close it up when finished to keep it clean for future project.

I am fairly new to machine embroidery and still experimenting with different combinations of stabilizers and fabric/design densities etc.I recently used this stabilizer to float inexpensive Mainstay woven towels from Walmart. I sprayed the center of the stabilizer lightly with 505 temporary adhesive, let it dry a few minutes until just tacky, then hooped the stabilizer, trimmed the bulky corners outside the hoop, and floated the preshrunk towels. I used a basting box just to be sure the towel didn’t shift. The towels came out great. I tried a wash away film on top of one but saw no discernible difference so left it off the rest. I found it really easy to trim the jump stitch tails while the stabilizer was still attached- a lint roller pulled them up so I could easily see them, and then a quick snip with my Karen K Buckley small scissors made quick work of a chore I dislike. Another swipe with the roller and the threads were gone!The stabilizer was easy to remove around the outside of the design but the 505 made it trickier to remove the smaller bits without snagging the towel. However, lightly scraping with the side of tweezers removed some and softened the rest of it so that it was not stiff and obvious. I think it will eventually wash out but even if it doesn’t, it will be fine. I will try without the adhesive next to see if it is necessary or if I can avoid this issue.

Great quality

Ok

Works perfect

Very soft, tears a little bit harder as it seems to leave a tad bit of the material against the thread which I had to trim. Nice product though.

I love this tear away stabilizer. It is so easy to tear away. Wish I had found it sooner.

Great quality
