Medium Cut Away Stabilizer Kimberbell

Cut-Away Overview

Kimberbell Cut-Away (labeled in shades of orange) is a fibrous material and does not tear, so you have to trim the excess stabilizer with scissors. Because it stays smooth and taut, choose Cut-Away for loosely woven or stretchy fabrics. Remember, fabric is continually pushed and pulled during embroidery, and you need stabilizer to reinforce the fabric and create that solid foundation!

Cut-Away & Fabric Types

Choose Kimberbell Cut-Away when stitching on stretch fabrics such as:

• T-shirts
• Knits
• Sweatshirts
• Twill weaves
• Spandex blends
• Most wearables
• Other stretchy fabrics 

Also choose Cut-Away for projects where you want stabilizer to remain and give continued reinforcement. For example, use Kimberbell Cut-Away for Mug Rugs, Noel’s Quilted Stockings, Happy Hoop Decor, Keepsake Clasp Purses, Annika’s Throw Pillows, and more! Kimberbell Cut-Away softens after washing.

Tip: While Cut-Away is always used for fabrics with stretch, it’s also used with other fabrics for a variety of projects!

Cut-Away & Designs

Kimberbell Cut-Away comes in many weights:

•  Ultralight Mesh Cut-Away for lightweight fabrics and designs with a low stitch count (12,000 stitches or less)
•  Light Mesh Cut-Away for lightweight fabrics and designs with a low stitch count (12,000 stitches or less)
•  Medium Cut-Away for medium-to-high stitch count designs (approximately 15,000 to 25,000 stitches)
•  Heavy Cut-Away for designs with a heavy stitch count (think 25,000 stitches or more)

Tip: The more stitches in the design, the heavier the stabilizer should be. Did you know that a medium weight Cut-Away can support as many stitches as a heavy weight Tear-Away?
