Where other stabilisers yield, Ultra Stable gives body — including as an interlining for fabric bags and textile decor. The web measures 25 cm across; the roll holds 5 m. 115 g/m² — the figure that tells you how much stability to expect.
Since it stays in the piece, its colour matters — it should match the fabric and not show through. Cut the web slightly larger than your hoop so it can be clamped all round. Store it dry, flat and without creases.
What Sulky Ultra Stable Schwarz is suitable for
- machine embroidery on jersey and knits
- badges and crests without a base fabric
- appliqué on knitwear
Sewing tips

- Bei sehr dichten Motiven eine zweite Lage unterlegen.
- Als Einlage für Taschenböden und Deko flächig aufbügeln.
- Die Farbe zum Stoff wählen, weil das Vlies im Stück bleibt.

Frequently asked questions
Does the stabiliser stay in the garment?
Yes, that is the point. A cut-away gives the design lasting support and is only trimmed around the embroidery. That is why how it feels matters as much as how it holds.
White or black?
Matched to your fabric. Since it stays in the piece, it shows through thin cloth. White under pale fabrics, black under dark ones — that is the whole difference.
Does it survive washing?
Yes, it is made for it. The design keeps its shape even when a piece is washed regularly. The limit comes from the fabric rather than the stabiliser.
Do I need spray adhesive?
On slippery and very stretchy fabrics it helps. Spray sparingly onto the stabiliser, never onto the fabric, and let it flash off briefly before hooping.
