The Floriani Dream Weave Fusible is ideal when adding embroidery to the most delicate fabrics where you may experience shredding, such as silk, satin, chamois, swiss batiste, top quality quilt cotton and linen, lycra, or spandex. Shredding happens when the fragile fibers of the fabric are not suitable for handling the constant puncturing of the needle during the embroidery process. Fusing Floriani Dream Weave Fusible to the back of the material benefits the fabric by providing more body without changing its face or drape. It is also an excellent product for lining in all types of fabrics for suits or garment construction. It is essential to remember that Floriani Dream Weave Fusible is not a stabilizer. It is a crucial step in prepping delicate fabrics for embroidery. Floriani Dream Weave Fusible is also fantastic for covering itchy stitches on the backside of embroidery designs, especially on baby clothes or youth apparel.
