Stabilizers
Stabilizers are a type of interfacing that is attached to the back of the project to add stability for stitching, embellishing or embroidering. They give your Quilting a professional finish.
The stabilizer gives the piece another layer of stiffness and another layer of fibre for the stitches to grab onto, especially with light-weight fabrics, or with thread painting.
Using stabilizers for quilting will change your quilting for the better, giving a pucker free finish to decorative stitches, machine embroidery or your appliqué.

Quilting is a modern form of art
Quilting is evolving in sew many new and exciting directions. It has become more about creativity, design, and innovation rather than focusing on pure technique and traditional piecing. Projects have taken on new dimensions and are approached very differently. Modern sewing and quilting machines, and new quilting methods like ruler-work and computerized-quilting have transformed the world of quilting. Types of Quilting Fabrics and notions have also improved and expanded. One of the fastest growing crafts world-wide, patchwork and quilting appeals to a much wider audience of sewers of all ages. Quilties globally are building new friendships and communities, physically and virtually. We are proud to be part of this impetus.
