Wet N Stick®
Wet
N Stick® is offered in a tearaway version which comes plain
or with one inch grid markings and a Cutaway version in black
or white. This remarkable stabilizer is coated with a water activated,
silicone based adhesive. It is an alternative to pressure sensitive
"sticky" paper products and/or messy spray adhesives.
Most home embroiderers have at some point experienced problems
with peel and stick products gumming up their needles as well
as the designs registration not lining up correctly. This happens
because they mistake "paper" for stabilizer. The main
differences between Wet N Stick® and these products are that
Floriani's is a stabilizer not paper and the adhesive doesn't
get sticky residue on the needle. The adhesive on Wet N Stick®
can be re-activated multiple times for easy re-positioning of
garments. Wet N Stick w/Grid is unique because it offers one-inch
grid lines which are especially appealing for lining up cuffs
and collars or border designs. The cutaway version of this product
is available in black or white. Use Wet N Stick Cut away when
you need to stick down a sweater knit or a bulky stretch garment
such as a sweatshirt, chenille or fleece pullover. It is important
to use a "cut away" stabilizer on non-stable fabrics
such as knit for the best embroidery results.
-
Perfect for bulky items such as towels, robes and blankets
-
Use for fabrics and garments that get "hoop burn"
-
Use
for hard to hoop items such as napkin corners, collars, cuffs,
etc.
-
One layer of the tearaway version will support around 8,000
to 10,000 stitches on an average size, well digitized design
(Cutaway 14,000)
-
The
adhesive can be re-activated several times
To
use Floriani Wet N Stick® Tear Away or Cut Away:
- Hoop
one layer of the stabilizer, adhesive side up. Be sure the
product is taut within the hoop. If using Wet N Stick®
with a grid, line the grid marks up with the lines on your
inner hoop.
- Apply
a drop of water onto the stabilizer in each corner of the
hoop as well as one in the center using a sponge, foam paint
brush or envelope sealer (recommended, available at office
supply stores). Remember that minimal water is required to
activate the adhesive.
-
Using the tip of your finger, smooth the drops of water over
the surface of the stabilizer. You will feel the adhesive
become tacky almost instantly.
- Press
the garment into place and smooth out any wrinkles.
-
Embroider your design. 600 stitches per minute or less is
recommended. *Tip - If the design is denser than 8,000 to
10,000 stitches or if it is a poorly digitized design (too
many stitches for designs size), float one layer of Floriani
Medium Tearaway under the hooped item for each additional
10,000 stitches for added support! (This applies to the cutaway
version as well. Use a max stitch count of 14,000 and float
the Medium Tearaway if your design goes over this amount.)
-
Once the design is complete, remove the hoop from your embroidery
machine and tear or cut away the Wet N Stick® stabilizer.
If the adhesive is holding on to the garment, reactivate it
by applying moisture at the glue line. Once the adhesive is
re-activated it will release the garment.
