Floriani Wet N Stick Tearaway Stabilizer is coated with water activated, silicone based adhesive. It is an alternative to pressure sensitive sticky paper products and/or messy spray adhesives. Most home embroiderers have at some point experienced problems with peel and stick products gumming up their needles as well as the designs registration not lining up correctly. This happens because they mistake paper for stabilizer. The main differences between Wet N Stick and these products are that Floriani Wet N Stick is an embroidery stabilizer, not paper, and the adhesive doesn't get sticky residue on the needle. The adhesive on Wet N Stick can also be re-activated up to six times for easy re-positioning of garments. The unique one-inch grid lines are especially appealing for lining up cuffs and collars. Floriani Wet N Stick Tearaway Embroidery Stabilizer is also available in a black or white cut away version for times when you need to stick down a bulky stretch garment such as a sweatshirt of fleece pullover. It is important to use a cut away stabilizer on non-stable fabrics such as knit for the best embroidery results.

To use Floriani
Wet N Stick Tear Away or Cut Away:
Hoop one layer of the stabilizer, adhesive side
up. Be sure the product is taut within the hoop. If
using Wet N Stick with a grid, line the grid marks
up with the lines on your inner hoop.
Apply a drop of water onto the stabilizer in each
corner of the hoop as well as one in the center using
a sponge, foam paint brush or envelope sealer (recommended,
available at office supply stores). Remember that
minimal water is required to activate the adhesive.
Using the tip of your finger, smooth the drops of
water over the surface of the stabilizer. You will
feel the adhesive become tacky almost instantly.
Press the garment into place and smooth out any
wrinkles.
Embroider your design. 600 stitches per minute
or less is recommended. *Tip- If the design is denser than 8,000 stitches
or if it is a poorly digitized design (too many stitches
for designs size), float one layer of Floriani Medium
Tearaway between the hoop and the bed of the machine
for each additional 10,000 stitches for added support!
Once the design is complete, remove the hoop from
your embroidery machine and tear or cut away the Wet
N Stick stabilizer. If the adhesive is holding on
the garment, reactivate it by applying moisture at
the glue line. Once the adhesive is re-activated it
will release the garment.
