When embroidering on linen, a fabric renowned for its durability and natural beauty, it's essential to use the right stabilizer for a flawless finish. Linen, made from the fibers of the flax plant, is cherished for its strength, absorbency, and smooth texture, making it a premium choice for table linens. To achieve optimal results, use a medium-weight tear-away stabilizer such as Sulky Tear-Easy or Pellon Stitch-N-Tear. These stabilizers provide the necessary support during embroidery while being easy to remove afterward, ensuring a clean and professional look.

Follow these steps for perfect embroidery on linen: first, prepare your linen by washing and pressing it to remove any wrinkles. Next, secure your medium-weight tear-away stabilizer to the back of the fabric, either by hooping both together or using a temporary spray adhesive. Then, proceed with your embroidery, adjusting the machine's settings for the best stitch quality. Once completed, gently tear away the stabilizer, revealing your beautifully embroidered Christmas napkins and tablecloths, ready to impress your guests with their festive elegance.

Toppings are applied on the face side of the fabric.

They are used on delicate, textured and porous fabrics to prevent stitches from sinking into the “texture”. When choosing stabilizers for topping one needs to remember that the stabilizer will need to be completely removed from the fabric afterward. Thus, only soluble stabilizers are used as toppings.

Note: In some cases, the role of the topping can be expanded. For example, it can be used not only to prevent stitches from sinking into the fabric textured surface but also to enhance the colorization of the insufficient fill-stitching. Usually, such a thing happens when machine embroidery is done on patterned (not solid) fabrics and the design isn’t dense enough to cover the background. Thus a specialty type of stabilizer is used as a topping, like a Coverup by Hoop-it-all or similar. We’ll be talking about the case in detail in the section with stabilizer color classification.
