Memo
 When embroidering on thin fabrics such as 
organdy or lawn, or on napped fabrics such 
as towel or corduroy, use water soluble sta-
bilizer (sold separately) for best results. The 
water soluble stabilizer material will dissolve 
completely in water, giving the project a 
more attractive finish.
