The adhesive on Totally Stable is deliberately weak. It holds exactly as long as needed and leaves nothing in your fabric. The web measures 50 cm across; the roll holds 10 m. 48 g/m² — the figure that tells you how much stability to expect.
At high stitch density you lay two or three layers and pull them off one at a time afterwards. The roll is best stored flat or upright, dry and without creases. Creased stabiliser tensions unevenly in the hoop.
What Sulky Totally Stable Weiß is suitable for
- machine embroidery on wovens
- buttonholes and satin stitches
- decorative edges and borders
Sewing tips
- Mit mäßiger Hitze aufbügeln, nicht mit Dampf.
- Nach dem Sticken einfach abziehen — die Klebekraft ist bewusst schwach.
- Für Knopflöcher in dehnbaren Stoffen unter den Stoff bügeln.
- Auch als Schablone für Maschinen- und Handapplikationen verwendbar.
- Reste zwischen engen Motivteilen mit einer Pinzette entfernen.

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.
White or black?
White under pale fabrics, black under dark ones. At the edges of a design the stabiliser always shows a little, and a white line under dark cloth catches the eye at once.
Does anything remain after washing?
No, provided you tore it off cleanly. Small remnants under dense stitching usually drop out in the first wash. Anything that will not come loose was stitched in too firmly.
Can I use it for sewing too?
Yes. Under fine or slippery fabrics it stops the feed dogs pulling the cloth into the needle plate. After the seam it tears away just as it does after embroidery.
