Compare tear-away, wash-away and cut-away or speciality options on your own fabrics, with the included “Stabilizers Know How” guide explaining applications and techniques. 12 genuine Madeira samples covering the complete Premium Stabilizer range. Three stabilizer families for varied embroidery, quilting and patchwork needs. Know How instruction guide with illustrated product guidance. See All 12 Samples View Set Details Madeira article 9449 · 12 stabilizer samples plus Know How guide 12 Samples one of every quality 3 Families tear, wash and cut away 1 Guide Stabilizers Know How 9449 Madeira article number i This retail listing is for one starter set. It contains 12 test pieces and one instruction guide, not 12 full rolls and not the five-set dealer quantity shown in some Madeira trade catalogues. Make a fabric-and-design decision by testing Feel, hoop, stitch and remove each stabilizer yourself A stabilizer must suit the fabric, design density, technique and desired finish. This set lets you compare the material in your hands and run small embroidery tests before committing to a larger retail roll. 1 Compare support See how each sample controls stretch, movement and puckering with a representative fabric and design. 2 Compare removal Experience how tear-away, water-soluble and permanent or heat-removable products finish differently. 3 Record the result Keep a stitched test and note the stabilizer name, fabric, needle, thread and design settings for later projects. Samples are for evaluation. Their dimensions are not specified by Madeira, so plan small test designs rather than assuming each piece will fit a particular hoop. Exactly what is included Four samples from each of three stabilizer families The set covers the 12 Madeira Premium Stabilizers sold in the range represented by article 9449. Tear Away Cotton Soft White Cotton Soft Black Cotton Stable Cotton Fix Wash Away Avalon Film Avalon Ultra Avalon Plus Avalon Fix Cut Away / Speciality Super Strong White Super Strong Black Super Stable Super Film Removal differs within the groups. In particular, Super Film is a heat-removable speciality film rather than an ordinary cut-away backing. Follow the included guide for every named sample. A practical first selection guide Start with the finish your project needs Family General behaviour Useful starting point Tear Away Excess backing is carefully torn away after stitching; individual products may be fusible or self-adhesive Stable woven fabrics, quilting and projects where most backing should be removed Wash Away Material dissolves in water according to the instructions for that Avalon product Sheer fabrics, lace, towels, velvet and projects where stabilizer should not remain Cut Away Support generally remains beneath the embroidery after excess is trimmed Stretch fabrics and dense designs needing lasting support Speciality film Removal follows the product-specific process, such as heat for Super Film Badges, lace and applications where conventional backing removal is unsuitable Four steps to a useful test library Use the samples methodically rather than guessing Read the guide Check the named sample’s application, attachment and removal instructions before cutting it. Label the test Keep the stabilizer name with the fabric so similar white samples do not become mixed up. Stitch a small design Use a representative fabric, hooping method and stitch density to assess the support accurately. Finish and record Remove or trim the stabilizer as directed, then note the appearance, feel and suitability for future work. Keep every sample identifiable Protect unused pieces from moisture, heat and mix-ups Retain the labels Store each offcut with its printed name or place it in a separate labelled envelope after opening the set. Keep Avalon dry Protect water-soluble samples from damp hands, splashes and humid storage until they are ready to use. Keep Super Film cool Store the heat-removable film away from irons, heaters and direct sunlight before testing. Test adhesives gently Follow the guide for fusible and self-adhesive samples and test delicate fabrics before committing the project.

Madeira 9449 Starter Set FAQs How many stabilizer samples are included? The set contains 12 samples: four Tear Away, four Wash Away and four Cut Away or speciality stabilizers. Is this listing for one set or five sets? This retail listing is for one starter set. A five-set quantity shown in some Madeira trade catalogues is a dealer ordering quantity. Are these full stabilizer rolls? No. They are test pieces intended for sampling the 12 products before choosing a full retail roll. What size are the samples? Madeira describes them as generous sample pieces but does not state exact dimensions. Plan small evaluations rather than assuming compatibility with a particular hoop size. Is the Stabilizers Know How guide included? Yes. The set includes one comprehensive instruction guide covering applications and use of the stabilizer range. Is embroidery stabilizer the same as backing? Backing is a common name for stabilizer placed beneath fabric. Some water-soluble products can also be used above textured fabric as a topping. Do all 12 samples tear, wash or cut away? No. Removal depends on the named product. For example, Super Film is removed with heat rather than treated like an ordinary cut-away backing. Follow the included guide for each sample. Is this a good set for a beginner? Yes. Madeira designed article 9449 as an introduction to working creatively with stabilizers, and the included guide helps explain where each type is used.
