Hi! I’m Kristin from Sweet Whimsy and I am excited to team up with Apex Embroidery to bring you Stabilizer 101. Stabilizers are one of the most frustrating aspects of learning to embroider and appliqué, but oh so necessary! When I first started out, I bought one kind of stabilizer (a tear away I think) and used it on every project!…

This tutorial has many great tips on how to applique and so much more. It shows different Gingher scissors and stabilizers. You will learn:

• How to hoop a youth size t-shirt.
• How to clean you embroidery
• And much more!
