[{"selector":"#anim-1802755a-680b-4df4-a533-35325b3af890","keyframes":[{"transform":"scale(1)","offset":0},{"transform":"scale(1.15)","offset":0.33},{"transform":"scale(0.985)","offset":0.66},{"transform":"scale(1)","offset":1}],"delay":480,"duration":1400,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}]

Stabilizers come in different weights, such as lightweight, mediumweight, or heavyweight.

[{"selector":"#anim-ba14a4f7-a972-4890-8117-ee9712111c51","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-62540ff5-ad13-4836-8014-233cff3164ad","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-72021699-3955-4626-bde0-8bc0c5af0ff9","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -469.00157%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}]

There are also different types of stabilizers, such as tear-away, cut-away, wash-away, and heat-away.

[{"selector":"#anim-9b73c15a-65ea-4a80-a778-b6533981ef96","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-e4c5b122-53f5-4e42-a0d4-a70b13efc743","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-f1e2e94e-d637-4973-a1f6-2a7cb9a0ac69","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -482.12191%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

Tear-away stabilizer is best for stable, woven fabrics like linen, canvas, and terry cloth. It's also good for low stitch-count designs.

[{"selector":"#anim-b2d240ef-1cde-4861-9e4e-504c3d7f1178","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-13da9f33-487c-4dfa-9aab-9389467bb2bf","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6f0a4301-81ac-4fda-8975-6c970a3b9dba","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -403.14592%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

Cut-away supports stretchy fabric and high stitch count designs.

[{"selector":"#anim-f408cbad-53bc-4610-bc79-3a6684731453","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-fcdc6016-2da0-4efc-bb83-3e108013a6b7","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-13c29733-a1e8-4a07-83a3-1c07afc298f6","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -614.51234%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

Wash-away stabilizer can be used as a topper or as a base stabilizer that later washes away in water.

[{"selector":"#anim-2dd2a83d-7b0d-4aea-9126-110d658bfcc7","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":3000,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.4, 0.4, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-4b345f80-b729-4660-bf4a-3a3e33ee7ddb","keyframes":{"opacity":[0,1]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] [{"selector":"#anim-6fc45d9b-ecc9-47cd-afba-a83b2b210be5","keyframes":{"transform":["translate3d(0px, -478.36248%, 0)","translate3d(0px, 0px, 0)"]},"delay":0,"duration":1400,"easing":"cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.6, 0.0, 1)","fill":"both"}] Learn more

Don't forget sticky self-adhesive stablizer, which can be used when floating embroidery blanks.

[{"selector":"#anim-731c74cf-4491-4d14-9203-ed8e8046c414","keyframes":[{"transform":"scale(1)","offset":0},{"transform":"scale(1.5)","offset":0.33},{"transform":"scale(0.95)","offset":0.66},{"transform":"scale(1)","offset":1}],"delay":0,"duration":1450,"easing":"ease-in-out","fill":"both","iterations":1}] Swipe up for more info and a free printable embroidery stabilizer chart!
