The Racing Cars on the Track machine embroidery design is ideal for car enthusiasts and young racers. Available in three sizes, it fits various clothing items like kids' hoodies, T-shirts, and backpacks. This dynamic design features vivid details, adding style and personality to any garment. When embroidering on hoodies, it’s essential to select the right stabilizer to prevent fabric distortion.

Kids’ Hoodie Fabric Weight

Kids’ hoodies are typically made from french terry fabric, with a weight of 250-300 g/m² (about 7.4 - 8.8 oz/yd²). This fabric has a looped texture that demands a specific stabilizer for high-quality embroidery.

Stabilizers for Stretch Fabrics

For stretchy fabrics like french terry, choose stabilizers to maintain embroidery shape and prevent design shifting. Here are three types:

• Medium-weight tear-away stabilizer (50-70 g/m² or 1.5-2 oz/yd²): A versatile option that provides sturdy support.
• Water-soluble stabilizer (30-40 g/m² or 1-1.2 oz/yd²): Best for intricate designs, used on top to achieve even embroidery.
• Sticky stabilizer (50-60 g/m² or 1.5-1.8 oz/yd²): Ensures firm grip on stretchy materials.

Recommended Stabilizers for Stretchy Fabrics

1. Sulky Cut-Away Plus Stabilizer

• Weight: about 60-70 g/m² (1.8-2 oz/yd²).
• Provides long-lasting support for stretchy fabrics, preventing shifting and distortion.

2. Madeira Cut-Away Soft Stabilizer

• Weight: around 50-60 g/m² (1.5-1.8 oz/yd²).
• A soft but firm stabilizer ideal for knits and stretchy fabrics, ensuring durability.

3. Madeira Cotton Fix Stabilizer

• Weight: approx. 50-60 g/m² (1.5-1.8 oz/yd²).
• An adhesive-backed stabilizer that holds fabrics securely in place, useful for difficult-to-hoop items.

Top Film for Looped Fabrics

Using a water-soluble film like Sulky Solvy on top of looped fabrics helps achieve smooth and detailed embroidery. This combination of stabilizers prevents "sinking" of stitches into the loops of french terry, resulting in a neat finish.

Using these stabilizers will help you achieve high-quality embroidery with the Racing Cars on the Track design on kids’ hoodies!
