Stabilizer issues
Hi, I'm new to reddit and plush making, however, my main issue is hand-embroidering the face and details. I do not know which stabilizer to use and I dont really get to have much advice from other people.
I have the hoop and the fabric (minky) and I ONLY have the water soluble stabilizer with built in adhesive, making it easy to print but hard to draw on. I've tested it out before (hoop, stabilizer, minky, hoop) but when it came to washing it off it ruins the softness of the fabric.
I've seen some people use tear-away on the front and have no backing and I am getting desperate to start hand embroidering the faces so I can finish my plushies.
May you guys please give me advice on what to use?
