With Perfect Stick® embroidery in almost any area is achievable! Enjoy quality stitching with no residue build up or gummy needles. Perfect Stick® is ideal for hard to hoop items such as bulky towels, backpacks, collars, napkin corners, or socks. Use for fabrics that can be damaged by the hooping process (Hoop Burn); like leather, velvet, ultra-suede and satin. With Perfect Stick® you will enjoy the stability of a firm yet flexible stabilizer that will support all types of embroideries on most fabrics.
Floriani Perfect Stick® is built on a 1.5 oz tearaway stabilizer foundation. This will support a design around 4" x 4" in size with a stitch count of 10,000 or less. If your design is larger or overly dense for its size you will need to add more stability. Use one or two layers of Floriani Medium Tearaway as a "floater" under the hoop. There is no need to baste or use spray adhesive to hold these layers under the hoop, they will simply be caught in the stitching under the fabric and will give the design the fibers it needs to lay smooth in the fabric.
To use Perfect Stick®:
1) Place one piece of Floriani Perfect Stick® in the embroidery frame with the paper side facing up.
2) Draw an “X” on the surface of the paper with a straight pin taking care to not puncture the stabilizer. This will perforate the paper so that it can be torn away to expose the sticky surface of the stabilizer within the hoop.
3) Stick down the item/garment to be embroidered and smooth out any wrinkles.
4) Stitch your design!
5) Remove the stabilizer by gently tearing it away from around the design. If the design does not have an outline (this perforates the stabilizer), place your thumb on the edge of the stitching to protect it while pulling away the stabilizer.
