Floriani’s Wet N Stick®
Specifically designed for hard-to-hoop items, Wet N Stick is an
adhesive-backed stabilizer that allows you to secure socks, neckties,
bags, belts and more
so they can be easily and professionally embroidered. This unique stabilizer
features a moisture-activated adhesive on the back that will hold any item
in place within the hoop. Avoid problems with peel-and-stick backing that
will gum up machine needles or spray adhesives that release harmful chemicals
into the air. Use the handy grid lines to keep your design straight. It’s
simple to use and only requires lightly applying moisture with a damp sponge,
rag, foam paint brush, or stamp roller. Make sure the adhesive side is
up. Do not over wet it! Lay the blank item on top of the adhesive and smooth
out any wrinkles; then embroider and trim. (If you need to reposition or
you find the adhesive too aggressive - simply go right to the glue line – where
the adhesive touches the fabric - remoisten it lightly! This will reactivate
the adhesive and it will peel off easily.) |

No Show Nylon Mesh 1.5oz
One of the most difficult problems with traditional stabilizers is having
the ugly square show through light colored fabrics. This problem is solved
with No Show Nylon Mesh which is made of soft, sheer, translucent embossed
nylon. This versatile mesh does not require multiple layers, which adds
bulk. It is invisible to the eye when viewed from the front. In some situations
such as very large or heavy stitch count design, added support may be necessary,
No Show Nylon Mesh can be combined with a tearaway. When softness is critical,
as it is with fabrics such as lightweight knits and wovens, you will find
No Show Nylon Mesh to be very comfortable to the wearer. It retains its
soft hand, even after embroidering and laundering with sheer fabrics as
well. Colors include white and beige. |
Floriani’s
No Show Fusible Nylon Mesh 1.5oz
This version of Nylon Mesh will adhere to the back of the garment, which
prevents stretching during the hooping/embroidery process. No Show FusibleNylon
Mesh allows the user to avoid environmentally harmful adhesive sprays and
eliminates the need for basting. The adhesive backing is activated by a
low-temp (260 degree) iron for a strong, secure hold. It not only provides
stability for embroidery, it can also be fused onto the garment after the
embroidery is complete to keep scratchy stitches from touching the skin.
Stabilize delicate fabrics such as silks, satins, taffetas and lame` for
embroidery and handwork. Colors include white, black and beige. |
Floriani’s Heat
N Sta Tearaway® 1.5 oz
Perfect for stabilizing lightweight woven’s that tend to shift; such
as quilt quality cottons, fine linens, shirt weight denims, etc.
To use: With a low temp (260 degree) iron; press a piece of Heat N Sta
Tearaway onto the back of the garment. Be sure to use a piece at least
one inch larger than the outer parameter of the hoop. Hoop the garment
and embroider. Remove the stabilizer by simply tearing it away from around
the design. |
Floriani’s
Medium Tearaway 1.5oz
Medium Tearaway tears away cleanly to speed production and features a non-stretch,
stable foundation. It is ideal for terry cloth towels and robes where you
do not want the stabilizer to scratch the skin. It can be used on any weight
of woven with excellent results. Because it’s made of top-quality
materials using the wet-laid non-directional process, only one layer is
needed. This product is easy to use. Once you’ve cut the appropriate
size, it is hooped to the wrong side of the garment and sewn. Then securely
rip off the excess edges from around the embroidery. |
Floriani’s
Heavy Tearaway 1.8oz
When you need more support from your tearaway, Floriani’s Heavy Tearaway
is your best bet. It provides more stability than other stabilizers, but
still easily tears off once finished. When you are doing a project
that requires that the stabilizer be pinned or glued to the item, you’ll
find Floriani’s Heavy Weight Soft Tearaway will provide a nonstretching,
secure base for even the densest stitched designs. Because it tears so
easily, you do not have to worry about stitches being pulled out or distorted
when removing the backing.
It comes in a 1.8 ounce weight and is intended for use on any knit or
woven fabric. It’s also ideal for craft projects, stitching on paper,
Aida cloth, and other nontraditional surfaces including framed embroidery.
One tip is to cut your stabilizer large enough for the hoop to create the
desired fabric tension.
As with all Floriani backing, you only need one layer.
After cutting the proper size piece to secure it in the hoop, put the stabilizer
against the wrong side of the garment in the appropriate spot. Once sewn,
the stabilizer can be quickly removed by firmly holding the embroidered
area with one hand and deftly pulling off the excess edges with the other
hand. |
Floriani’s Stitch
N Wash® 1.7 oz
Stitch N Wash is made up of both soluble and non-soluble fibers making it a
perfect choice for embroidery on linen, batiste and delicate cottons. Because
it will wash out, you will not have any shadows behind your design or spend
long hours picking out stabilizer! The non-soluble fibers will stay within
the embroidery even after washing. It is also ideal for heirloom or decorative
machine stitching. Another fun application is to use it in your printer to
copy foundation quilt patterns for easy and accurate paper piecing! (Stitch
N Wash does not dissolve in water alone. It needs to be agitated with a mild
detergent and water or in a washing machine.) |
Floriani’s
Cutaway Medium 2oz
When stability is the priority, Floriani’s Cutaway Medium offers
the no-stretch properties you need to provide support for light to heavy
stitch count designs on most weights of knits and wovens. It can be used
for any project that requires gluing or pinning and only one layer provides
all the support you should need.
Cut an appropriate size of stabilizer and hoop it to the wrong side of
the fabric. Once sewing is completed, carefully trim away the excess for
a clean finished look. |
Floriani’s
Cutaway Heavy 3oz
For your heavy-duty jobs, this 3 ounce stabilizer will keep stitches from
disappearing in fleece, knits, and sweaters. It offers a nonstretching
base to ensure that the embroidery holds its shape for the life of the
garment, whether a medium or heavy stitch density is used.
It’s also ideal for home decorating projects such as curtains, pillows,
and upholstery. It comes in black, which enables it to blend better when
dark-colored fabrics are used. You only need one layer for most
applications because it’s made with the wet-laid non directional
process which provides the ultimate in stability.
Cut an appropriate size of stabilizer and hoop it to the wrong side of
the fabric. Once sewing is completed, carefully trim away the excess for
a clean finished look. |

Wet N Gone Fusible®
Use for embroidery situations where absolutely no stabilizer can be left
behind the design such as organza, tulle, sheer silk or nylon, etc.
Using a press cloth, iron the Wet N Gone Fusible onto the back of the
garment with a low temperature (260 degree) iron. Be sure the stabilizer
is at least one inch larger than the parameter of the outer hoop to
insure appropriate stabilization. After the design is complete; rinse
away the stabilizer! All that remains is the embroidered design. |
Floriani’s
Wet N Gone ®
Superb choice for all lace work and/or free standing appliques (flower
pins, paper dolls, etc). Once the embroidery is complete, trim away any
excess stabilizer, rinse it in water; the design is all that remains! Submerging
is also an acceptable method of stabilizer removal. One layer should be
sufficient for most designs. Wet N Gone is noted for its clean rinse which
results in a soft embroidery that can be worn against the skin. |

Dream Weave Fusible
When adding embroidery
to your most delicate fabrics such as silk, satin, chamois, etc.,
you can sometimes experience “shredding”.
This occurs because the delicate fibers of the fabric are not strong
enough to handle the constant needle penetration that occurs while
embroidering. By fusing Floriani’s Dream Weave Fusible to the
back of the fabric before embroidery, it gives the garment body and
the ability to handle heavier embroidery designs while still maintaining
drapability. Also use for lining all types of fabrics in suiting and
regular sewing.
*This product is not a stabilizer. It is an important step to preparing
delicate fabrics for embroidery. |
Floriani’s
Press Cloth
A recently revealed secret of the Floriani family is to “heat set” the
embroidery design once it is sewn. Using a Floriani press cloth will
protect the embroidery thread from the surface of the iron while “setting” the
color and stitch formation. Your embroidery will be perfect after it
is laundered! Now you can own the press cloth used and recommended by
Walt himself! |
Floriani’s
