Can you use this poly mesh as a topper stabilizer for machine embroidered terry cloth items?

No. It is not meant for top stabilization in machine embroidery. It is used mostly for "no show" as its name applies when using fabrics that are sheer or thin because regular stabilizers would show through to the front. It (no show) has a pattern weave that makes it camouflaged so it doesn't show through.

Yes, but I have my own system. I put both pieces of the hoop together and cut the stabilizer the size of the outside hoop. I peel it off and just stick it under the hoop. It doesn't always all come off but it helps keep other fabric from sliding so I don't care. This uses less of it and all you do is just position your fabric over it and gently smooth out the fabric. I reuses it by putting scraps in the area where you pull it apart and I can usually get 3 uses at least.

That is correct. Put the stabilizer in the hoop. Remove enough of the paper so the design will fit into it, the take your fabric and place it onto the sticky stabilizer and stitch away. so very easy. I love it.

A titanium needle works best with the sticky stabilizers as it has a special coating to help it go through the sticky, then use a needle according to the fabric type. If the onsi is knit use a titanium knit needle.ithen use whatever size is appropriate for the weight of the fabric. The Sulky web site has great information on stabilizers and needles.

Rebecca, this metal mesh should work for you. I have used it to mold strainer filters into delicate shapes and they held the shape after several washings.

Any microfiber will do that is cut to size. The cost of the iRobot microfiber cloth is not terrible, and you get cloths that are absolutely perfect, after all, for the machine!

This is an embroidery only machine. If you had a design that you created in your software, you could certainly do this over fabric in a type of applique. You Tube is a Great Place to find instruction and techniques. Good Luck.

I think it would. It is bonded nylon so is less sun sensitive than poly thread. It runs through my machine well.

I wouldn't use it for basic top stitching but I think it would be OK for decorative stitches. Since decorative stitches are basically embroidery it should work but I haven't tried it for that. I don't think it's strong enough for anything else.

I think you could because it is a fairly heavy fabric. I suggest you is the long pins to hold in place. They are recommended to get with the fabric.

I love the 505 spray because it does not gum up the sewing machine needle. Because the felt is such a porous surface you can use it but spray both the felt and the stabilizer ... let them sit for about 30 seconds and then press them together. Another option would be to get some of the stabilizer than has a tacky surface. The tacky surface stabilizer will allow you to reposition and or use a piece of felt or fabric that is smaller than your hoop but large enough for the design you wish to embroider (by machine).

Yes you can use it as the bottom stabilizer and then on top, all completely dissolve without a trace, leaves embroidery only

My wife is the one that uses this. She uses this for fusing two fabrics together for quilting. She says that she does not have any problems with gumming up her needles or with sticky residue when using this product. She explains that there are particular stabilizers for embroidery. She says that you should speak with a sewing machine shop/embroidery specialty shop as to the proper stabilizer for embroidery. She is assuming that you are using the stabilizer with machine embroidery.

I'm sure you could. There's not anything you could affix it with such as loops/ hooks since it's smooth with the magnets inside fabric. You could pin up or clip I guess. Amazon may have a better product for what you are looking for. This is somewhat small and you may like a larger piece if you are steaming garments.

I use if for machine applique. I would think and apron would be ok but uncomfortable for use as the entire apron. It is thick like an oil cloth.

Yes you use it to transfer multi piece cutouts to clothing ( vinyls, iron one etc) to maintain the pattern. Unless you are using an extremely delicate fabric, you shouldn't have a problem using it with fabric.
