If you are an embroiderer or want to be one, this episode will help you learn the foundation literally behind everything you stitch. As Kristine says “Whether you’re a machine embroidery newbie or someone who has been creating stitch-outs for years, stabilizer can be a confusing subject. What type do you use when? Do you need to have more than one type on hand? How does fabric impact the stabilizer? The questions can be endless.” Learn more about stabilizer and Kristine’s New eBook and get a quick update on the upcoming Applique Getaway event. Join us and ask your stabilizer questions live!

Understanding Stabilizer
Erich: Kristine it’s been a little while since you’ve been on the show. For our listeners who may not know you, tell us a little about yourself
Terry: Let’s start with an event just around the corner. Tell us about Applique Getaway.
Would like to talk about Applique Getaway – Show is June 27 – 30, 2024. Link to see what the show is about is here: https://www.appliquegetaway.com/index.html Link to register is here: https://appliquegetaway.regfox.com/agtx24
Some great instructors this year including Lisa Shaw, Eve Lowry, Stephanie Young from Siser, Sheila Ryan and more. Also two Afterhours events this year, which is exciting.
Erich: You have a new book, Understanding Stabilizer. Give us the rundown on that.
Book is Understanding Stabilizer. Written based on blog posts I wrote when I was on the supplier side at EnMart. Also based on education I got through my friendship with a senior vice president at QST who handled our account and educated me a great deal on stabilizer. A great book for beginners, but I also think it has tips and tricks that could help experienced embroiderers as well.
Terry: What is the biggest misunderstanding or ‘Myth’ about stabilizer that you continually run into?
Erich: Why do you think there are so many differing viewpoints on how to use stabilizer?
Terry: For those starting in embroidery, what stabilizers should they stock first?
Erich: What one fact should embroiderers know about stabilizer that no one talks about?
Terry: Where can we find Understanding Stabilizer?
Book – Link to buy is here: https://www.kristineshreve.com/shop-products/ Also offering a coupon for Regulators who want to buy the book – will take 15% off price – Code is 2RG15.
Erich: What else have you been working on since we spoke last?
Also working on a podcast and newsletter, possibly a webinar and a second book. And open to other gigs and projects as they come along.
Terry: Before we let you go, where can our listeners find you?
