If you are an embroiderer or want to be one, this episode will help you learn the foundation literally behind everything you stitch. As Kristine says "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 the stabilizer? The questions can be endless." Learn more about stabilizer and Kristine's New eBook and get a quick update on the upcoming Applique Getaway event. Join us and ask your stabilizer questions live!
