I’ve been in the embroidery business my entire life and I actually learned a lot from this book. We had limited options for so many years and now with all of the performance fabrics out there this book is a very good resource. I highly recommend reading it whether you are a long time professional or especially if you are starting out.

Whether you’re a machine embroidery newbie or someone who has been creating stitch-outs for years, stabilizer can be a confusing subject. What type do you use when? Do you need to have more than one type on hand? How does fabric impact stabilizer? The questions can be endless.
If you want to know more about stabilizer and how to get the most from the stabilizers you use, this book is what you need. We start with the basic types of stabilizer and build from there. You’ll learn about specialty stabilizers and when and why they should be used. You’ll discover how stabilizer interacts with fabric as well as how specialty stabilizers can improve your stitch-outs and potentially your bottom line. Understanding Stabilizer also reveals the not-so-secret secret of saving money when purchasing stabilizer. Finally we wrap up with some information on specialty stabilizer, trade names that various companies sell that stabilizer under, and when and where such stabilizers might be used. Learn everything you need to know to use stabilizer successfully!
