Sulky products really opened my eyes to the possibilities of machine and hand embroidery. When I first got my embroidery machine I’d experiment on all kinds of fabrics and get less than ideal results. I figured you could only embroider onto medium weight fabrics for a successful outcome. Then I was introduced to Sulky products and learned you can successfully embroider on light weight fabrics like chiffon, organza, tulle, and knits. They have stabilizers for all types of projects. I was initially nervous when Kelly from Sulky challenged me to do a post on embroidery with sheer fabrics. Of course she assured me they have the correct products for this and introduced me to my now “favorite” stabilizer, . This stuff is impressive. It’s a fabric-like stabilizer that can be used as both a topper and backing. Once you’re done with the embroidery it simply dissolves away in water.
