Hi, It is so nice to find a forum about machine embroidery. I have just purchased a Brother PE 180D. I am wanting to make some iron on patches and would like to know where I can find the stabilizer for that. I want the kind that the ready made patchs are made with. I surely hope that this isn't a crazy question. And by all means I hope someone has the info for me . Thanks in advance. :USA:

Hi,
There are many stabilizers on the market. You might have to try some to see what you like. Quilters use a fuse webbing called wonder-under or steam and seam. It is an iron on and is adhesive on both sides. Here is a site that gives some info on machine stabilizers. You might just have to go to a sewing store or quilting store and ask the sales person, she could help you.
