This "bi-directional" (tears in both directions) embroidery tear-away is ideal for stable fabric.

Color: White

Embroidery tear away refers to a type of stabilizer used in machine embroidery. Stabilizers are essential because they keep the fabric from shifting, puckering, or stretching during the embroidery process.

Tear Away Stabilizer – Quick Breakdown:

Purpose: Supports the fabric while stitching, then is removed afterward.
How it's used: It's placed on the back side of the fabric, and the embroidery is stitched through both the fabric and stabilizer.
Removal: After stitching, you gently tear away the excess stabilizer around the design.

Best for:

Woven fabrics (like cotton, linen, denim)
Designs with low to medium stitch density

Not ideal for: Stretchy or delicate fabrics — in those cases, a cut-away or wash-away stabilizer is usually better.

Why people use tear away:

Easy cleanup — no scissors required
Quicker to remove than cut-away
Works great for clean, simple designs
