Stabilizer

Stabilizer plays a very important role in successful embroidery or decorative stitching. The very function of the sewing machine that pulls the thread firmly into a stitch can cause puckering while embroidering or using the built-in decorative stitches on your sewing machine. Stabilizing the fabric will eliminate puckers and allow for beautiful results.
