Description
Not every fabric survives a hoop. Filmoplast solves that by hooping the stabiliser instead — your fabric merely sticks to it. One roll of 25 m, 50 cm wide — you cut it to hoop size. At 50 g/m² it stays thin enough for the needle to pass easily.
Beyond embroidery it also serves as a base for appliqué and edge finishing. No air may stay between stabiliser and fabric. If you use spray adhesive, spray sparingly and onto the stabiliser rather than the fabric. If you embroider regularly, keeping one of the common sizes in stock pays off.
What Sulky Filmoplast Weiß is suitable for
- machine embroidery on wovens
- appliqué and monograms
- buttonholes and satin stitches
Sewing tips
- Das Vlies mit der Papierseite nach oben einspannen und das Papier einritzen.
- Den Stoff aufkleben, glatt streichen und erst dann sticken.
- Nach dem Sticken das Vlies dicht am Motiv abreißen.
- Klebereste an der Nadel mit Alkohol abwischen, sonst zieht der Faden.
- Für dicke oder sehr dehnbare Stoffe die Variante Strong nehmen.

Frequently asked questions
How many layers do I need?
That depends on stitch density. A light design needs one layer, dense areas two or three. Several thin layers hold better than one thick one, because they come off separately.
Do I need spray adhesive with it?
Not necessarily. It helps with small pieces that cannot be hooped and with slippery fabrics. Spray sparingly onto the stabiliser rather than the fabric, or your needle turns sticky.
How large should I cut the stabiliser?
Slightly larger than your hoop so it can be clamped all round. Cut too close, it slips out of the clamp while stitching and then holds nothing at all.
Do I have to change the needle?
Not because of the stabiliser, but regularly in general. A blunt needle punches instead of piercing, and on dense designs you notice that first as thread breaks and frayed holes.
