Want to embroider on a t-shirt or onesie? Not without this stuff, you don't! Iron it onto your fabric to avoid it from stretching while you stitch. Then, simply tear it away when finished embroidering. This is an 18" x 20" sheet, and it comes with my complete instructions for use! 

 • USE FOR BLACK FABRICS •  This stabilizer is also a great workaround for black or very dark fabrics. Why? How? Apply to the front of dark or difficult fabrics as a white background for your pattern! Watch me do that here in this video:

Lucy ★★★★★

The iron-on adhesive held the fabric perfectly flat through a dozen hoops, and the tear-away came off clean with zero residue on the cotton. This finally makes onesies and stretchy tees foolproof for my machine.

Brian V. ★★★★★

My last few attempts at embroidering t-shirts ended up with puckered, stretched fabric, but this tear-away stabilizer completely fixed that. The iron-on backing held the fabric perfectly still while I stitched, and it peeled off cleanly without leaving any residue.

James P. ★★★★★

I've torn away plenty of stabilizers that left a sticky mess, but this one peeled off clean as could be after I finished the last stitch. It kept the neckline from distorting even through multiple passes, which made the whole project feel a lot less stressful.
