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.
You can't scare me. I taught high school for 32 years.

Just realised this thread is now moot as Ive done the dedications and finished the quilt ... I just stabilised with Tearaway as normal and tore it away .. Simples Bimples, I wonder why I was so worried ??

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
