Question: What stabilizer should be used for the Damask Border on linen with a density of 160 g/m²?

For embroidering the Damask Border on linen with a density of 160 g/m² (4.7 oz/yd²), it is recommended to use a tear-away stabilizer with a density of 50-70 g/m² (1.5-2.1 oz/yd²). Linen is a natural fabric that has a loose structure and tends to deform during embroidery, so it is important to choose the right stabilizer. Optimal choices include stabilizers from brands like Madeira, Gunold, and Sulky. For example, Gunold Tear Away with a density of 50 g/m² (1.5 oz/yd²) or Sulky Tear-Easy with a density of 55 g/m² (1.6 oz/yd²) provide sufficient fabric support and can be easily removed after completing the embroidery.

Important Factors to Consider When Choosing a Stabilizer and Fabric

When selecting a stabilizer for the Damask Border embroidery on linen, keep in mind the following key points:

• Stabilizer Density: For medium-weight fabrics such as 160 g/m² (4.7 oz/yd²) linen, a tear-away stabilizer with a density of 50-70 g/m² (1.5-2.1 oz/yd²) is suitable. It is essential not to overload the product with excessive stiffness.
• Deformation Test: Before starting the main embroidery, it's recommended to do a test stitch to check the interaction between the fabric and stabilizer.
• Needle Choice: For embroidering on linen, it's best to use sharp needles of size 75/11 or 80/12 to minimize fabric damage.

Recommended Stabilizers for Linen Embroidery

• Madeira Tear Away (50 g/m² or 1.5 oz/yd²) — an ideal choice for medium and light fabrics like linen.
• Gunold Easy Tear (50-60 g/m² or 1.5-1.8 oz/yd²) — a versatile stabilizer suitable for most embroidery projects.
• Sulky Totally Stable (60 g/m² or 1.8 oz/yd²) — easy to use and provides good fabric stabilization.

By following all these recommendations, the Damask Border embroidery on linen will look neat and elegant, giving your products a sophisticated and refined appearance.
