WSS will be water soluble stabilser - 30 microns will be the thickness
If you take a little bit of it and try dissolving it in cold water, you'll see if it seems right. Then try a test piece on the sewing machine

I've used the water-soluble stabilizers for Free Standing Lace, but never for embroidery on fabric. So I would definitely suggest doing a test piece before you do something you care about.

I think I was worried because of the fragility of the shirting ...

Yes I can understand that. A really fine interfacing would help with that. If you ever need some, give me a shout!

Probably find a stitch and tear is enough if it’s low density design.

They are done ... backed with a stitch and tear but its more fabric like than the papery stuff I have on a roll.
I went into town to ask the girl who embroiders for a living and she kindly gave me a few sheets. They've come out lovely so I must get some of that for future use ... Pics after Ive ironed them if youre interested.
Thx for your replies x
