SOFT, DRAPABLE & ALMOST INVISIBLE!

HOLDS MORE STITCHES!

No Show "Diagonal" mesh is a nylon mesh stabilizer with a diagonal embossing pattern. It is more multi-directionally stable than previous versions. Therefore it will hold more stitches per single layer than the regular perpendicular patterned mesh leading to better and tighter registration or definition per single layer. If you add a mid weight tearaway as a sandwich it can hold an even higher stitch count!

It is perfect for left chest logos, pique knits, T Shirts, infant items and micro fiber apparel. 

Also available in a FUSIBLE version!

By fusing the stabilizer to the back of the garment, the fabric will not move or stretch leading to better registration. The stabilizer is temporarily attached to the entire area where the embroidery will be stitched eliminates the use of messy spray adhesives which only "spot" tack and allow shifting of the fabric and are quite messy leaving residue on needles hoops and machine parts

We use a low melt fusible - 260 F so as not to scorch or shrink your fabric.

When you are finished with your embroidery, re-fuse the edges- peel back and trim around your design.

One layer should support 10-12,000 stitches of a moderately dense design.
If you sandwich a tearaway behind it, it should hold a lot more!

Use the fusible version to cover up scratchy stitches on the back of the embroidery.

"With the other brands of "no-show" mesh, I often felt the need to double the layers -- using one diagonally, and the other horizontally. I am thinking that the new diagonal no show will probably alleviate the need for the second layer (example -- t shirts, polos, etc.), as the diagonal is incorporated into the one layer. I have always loved using "no-show" mesh products, and expect that this one will be especially good for many applications."

"I used the diagonal fusible mesh today and it was superb!!! It was so soft and was easier to trim the excess off the shirt when I was finished"

Wash-Away Dissolvable Stabilizer

Directions:
Please test thoroughly prior to beginning any project.

Turn your embroideries into appliqués or patches with this unique, pressure-sensitive, fusible stabilizer. Once heat is applied, Thermal Stick creates a permanent bond with almost any fabric.
 
Thermal Stick’s specially formulated pressure-sensitive adhesive keeps the stabilizer firmly in place while embroidering, but at the same time makes it easy to reposition multiple pieces as necessary. It also won’t gum up your needles causing thread breaks, needle breaks, or damage to garments. It is machine washable and dry-cleanable.
 
To turn a design into a patch or appliqué:

1. Trace the outline of the trimmed design on the back of the release sheet. *Remember that you need to trace or draw the reverse of the image.
   
2. Cut out the shape along the outline.
   
3. Using a medium temperature iron, fuse the shiny side (not the release paper) to the backside of the embroidery. The iron should not be set on steam, and you will need to use between 3 and 6 seconds of dwell time for a good bond.
   
4. Once it has cooled, peel the release paper from the back of the embroidery design exposing the sticky side.
   
5. Position the embroidery on the garment and press into place. Using a press cloth to protect your embroidery, press from the appliqué side and underneath the fabric/garment for a secure bond. Finish by stitching around the embroidery with a satin or straight stitch.

How To Make Appliqué Using Thermal Stick

1. Trace the design to be appliquéd onto the protective paper sheet of Thermal Stick.
   
2. Trim around the image leaving at least ¼-inch border around the outside.
   
3. Fuse Thermal Stick to the wrong side of the decorative fabric using a medium to high temperature setting on your iron. Fuse for 3 to 6 seconds without using steam. The fusible side of Thermal Stick is the soft, shiny side. Hold the iron in place for at least 3 seconds and then flip the piece over and press again on the fabric side.
   
4. Once cooled, cut out the appliqué design along your trace lines.
   
5. Peel back the protective sheet to expose the sticky surface. Let the appliqué cool before removing the paper.
   
6. Position the appliqué piece on the garment and press into place. Press on the appliqué side and the fabric side for maximum bonding. Finish by stitching around the appliqué with a satin or decorative stitch or any running stitch.

Tip: Pre-washing your materials prior to using them for appliqué can allow for a more secure bond.
 
Test all materials and procedures thoroughly before applying to a finished garment.

Fuse & Tear is a fusible tear away stabilizer that has a low melt fusible coating.

It was developed for embroidery on light weight woven fabrics, shirt weight fabrics, linens etc to eliminate any movement or slippage when they are hooped or while you are embroidering which will adversely affect your registration. This fusible tearaway eliminates the need for messy spray adhesives which leave a residue on the needle, hoops and fabrics.

The low melt 260 F fusible was made to prevent scorching or shrinking your fabric. The fusible bond will keep your fabric from any movement or slippage. This product offers a clean & easy tear from your design.

• Use for dense designs on lightweight woven fabrics such as linens &, shirt weight fabrics.
  
• Eliminates any shift or movement of the fabric while embroidering
  
• Will support about a 6,000 stitch count of a moderately dense well digitized design.
• Tears away very cleanly.
  
• It eliminates any need for messy or toxic spray adhesives!
  

Directions:

1. Fuse one layer of Fuse & Tear to the back of the fabric to be embroidered. Be sure to use a piece a bit larger than the hoop to insure proper hooping tension *Important - Use a low to medium temp (260° silk) setting on your iron. We recommend using a press cloth underneath your iron
   
2. . Hoop the garment and stabilizer. Try to achieve or approach a "tambourine skin" type tension in your hoop.
   
3. Embroider your design - If the design is dense or more than the suggested number of stitches float another layer of tearaway under the hoop and the first tearaway layer for extra support.
   
4. Once the design is complete tearaway the excess stabilizer from around your embroidery

Free Standing Lace, Appliqué, Fleece blankets, Fabric Scarves

This unique product is a fibrous water-soluble stabilizer with a gentle sticky surface that is perfect for those hard to hoop items. It will work better than film stabilizers as fibers hold stitches far better and tighter than films, and the fabric like texture holds much better in the hoop. The threads become easily entangled with the fibers leading to tighter registration.

• It will support most freestanding lace designs with just one layer.
• It rinses away easily and cleanly with no messy residue.
• It is perfect for delicate fabrics.
• Press and Wash is also made in a regular version called Washaway. Press and Wash or Washaway Extra is the sticky version. The sticky version is used on hard hoop items where you would use a clamp type frame or a “hoopless” application.
• To dissolve, submerge item in warm water and apply a slight agitation. If your item is washable and you want that soft feel, run it through the delicate cycle in the washer.
• The more you wash out Washaway extra – the softer it is.
• For stiffness leave some of the residue in place - wash away
  less vigorously.

With adhesive stabilizers we always suggest that embroiderers slow down their machines to 500-600  stitches per minute and use titanium needles and or silicone spray on the needles.
