Spray adhesive holds fabric to stabilizer for floating and prevents shifting. This guide walks through the technique step by step, with practical tips to get clean results — and shows where a free tool like SewFlow fits in.
Step by Step
- 1Spray the stabilizer lightly, not the fabric.
- 2Let the tack set for a few seconds before placing fabric.
- 3Smooth fabric on from the center outward.
- 4Use a light coat — too much gums up the needle.
Tips for Best Results
- •Spray the stabilizer in a separate area to avoid overspray on the machine.
- •A light, even coat is all you need.
- •Reposition while the adhesive is still tacky.
Less Is More
A light mist on the stabilizer is plenty — heavy spray gums the needle and stiffens the fabric.
