Tips for Using Floriani Perfect Stick® Cutaway or Perfect Stick® Tearaway:
These products are washer/dryer friendly but should be tested before using within your project.
Perfect Stick® Cutaway
Tip for embroidery on lycra/spandex blend knits or extremely stretchy fabrics – Before sticking the fabric to Perfect Stick Cutaway, prep the fabric by fusing one layer of Floriani No Show Nylon Mesh® Fusible on the back of the fabric. Be sure to use a piece of Mesh at least one inch larger than the embroidery design.
Perfect Stick® Tearaway
On average, Floriani Perfect Stick® Tearaway should support a design with no more than 10,000 stitches and/or around 4″ x 5″ in size. If the design has a higher stitch count, simply “float” a square of Floriani Stitch N Wash® TearAway between the hoop and the bed of the machine to support the additional stitches.
