StickyAway Embroidery Stabilizer is a self-adhesive tearaway stabilizer designed for fabrics that cannot be hooped or are too small for standard hoops. It tears away cleanly without leaving residue while providing reliable stability during embroidery. To prevent gumming, reduce machine speed to 400spm, apply Sewer Aid to reduce friction, use anti-glue needles, and clean the needle area regularly. This stabilizer works well on hard-to-hoop items including towels, cuffs, collars, socks, doll clothes, caps, backpacks, and pockets. It also protects delicate fabrics like leather, velvet, flannel, fleece, and satin from hooping damage. The medium weight 1.8 oz construction suits light to medium density designs for heavier patterns, float additional tearaway stabilizer beneath the hoop. Cold weather may reduce adhesion—use double-sided tape as needed in low temperatures. Made from first-class polyester that is acid and lead free, safe for skin-contact garments.
