List of water soluble stabilizers<br />
OK – it’s time to get to work. I want to get<br />
out of the Knowledge Center and into<br />
the work area. I simply hit the START NEW<br />
button on the bottom right of the screen.<br />
Tear A Way stabilizer menu<br />
Did you notice that the labels on the<br />
screen are the same as the actual<br />
product? That makes it super easy to<br />
know you have the correct stabilizer. And<br />
if you need more detailed information<br />
about the stabilizer, just click on the icon<br />
for that particular one and you get all<br />
the information you could possibly want.<br />
You get an in-depth description of the<br />
stabilizer, when to use iit, and detailed<br />
instructions on how to use it.<br />
I told you – it doesn’t get any easier!<br />
Press Start New to get to work<br />
But wait! I need to sew something<br />
before I start my embroidery project. No<br />
worries. I can sew WITH the embroidery<br />
unit attached. I simply toggle from<br />
embroidery to sewing mode in the top<br />
right hand corner.<br />
Choose the stitch and the appropriate settings<br />
I would be careful of the size of project<br />
that I work on. While I could work on<br />
something fairly large, I wouldn’t want my<br />
project catching on the embroidery arm.<br />
Information on Tear-A-Way Stabilizers<br />
Toggle switch between embroidery and sewing mode<br />
Now that the sewing mode screen<br />
is up, I can choose the stitch and the<br />
appropriate settings that I want.<br />
And yes – I can SEW with the embroidery<br />
unit attached. This is fabulous. It saves<br />
having to remove the embroidery unit,<br />
find a safe place to store it and then put<br />
it back on when done stitching.<br />
Sewing with the embroidery unit attached<br />
I’m not going to have a chance to hoop<br />
anything, but wanted to show you that on<br />
all the hoops, there are four notches that<br />
assist you in lining up your design on your<br />
fabric. It takes a bit of practice to get that<br />
right. While I’m doing an okay job with<br />
hooping, I do try to hoop a big piece of<br />
fabric and then cut my image after. That’s<br />
the cheating way to do it, but it works!! I’ll<br />
have more on hooping.<br />
