Stabilizers - Select the right foundation for every design

BLP-FILM
Press Away Embroidery Stabilizer
Press-Away Topping is a temporary stabilizer that dissolves when pressed with a hot, dry iron. It’s used during the application process to provide stability to stitches, which helps prevent puckering, tunneling, and distortion. Press-Away topping is perfect for applications that need stability but absolutely no stabilizer remaining.
BLS400
Hydro Melt - Embroidery Topping
This is the perfect topping for projects that use high pile fabrics such as fleece, terry cloth, and knits. It creates a smooth embroidery surface so stitches won’t sink into your fabric, giving a crisp definition and detail to your work. Hydro Melt dissolves in water, so it should only be used on projects that can be wet without staining. You can easily remove the stabilizer with a damp cloth or sponge. If you are using a steamer or iron, do not let it come into direct contact with the Hydro Melt.
BLS500
Dissolve-Away Mesh Backing
Dissolve-Away stabilizer is temporary and dissolves completely in water without leaving any residue. It's perfect for projects such as lace, appliqué, emblems, or any application that needs stability but absolutely no stabilizer remaining. Dissolve-Away Mesh will prevent puckering, tunneling and distortion while stitching. After embroidering, gently remove the remain-ing stabilizer. The rest will wash away. Store unused stabilizer in a dry, airtight container.

Jan When life gives you lemons...
Embroider them with the Embroidery Professional Plus!


Sometimes life can take you on an expected adventure. So, when my husband was out of work for a period of time, I started thinking of ways to help my family. Although a lemonade stand may have helped, the answer I found was an embroidery business.

Now, I wasn’t an expert at all - in fact, I didn’t know how to sew - but when I visited my Baby Lock Retailer, he showed me how simple it was to thread, operate and edit on the Embroidery Professional Plus. That’s when I knew that I could actually do this! The rest, as they say, is history.

With 6 needles and the speed of the Embroidery Professional Plus, I can keep up with my customers, with editing options to give all my ready-to-embroider products a unique embroidered touch. And with so much ease, I can program my settings, hit "start", and get back to where it all started - spending time with my family.
