Washing away the stabilizer

Here are the steps to wash away the pattern/stabilizer on a Calendar Girl block.

1. Remove the stitching from around the edge of the stabilizer.


2. Use warm water to melt away the stabilizer.


3. Be sure to wash all of the stabilizer. Rinse with warm water until all stabilizer is gone.


4. Put the wet block on a clean, folded towel.


5. Roll the towel.


6. Squeeze or press the water out of the block.


7. Let the block air dry on a rack.


That's it. Now on to the next block.

The pattern for Miss March has been placed on the block and stay stitched as an added precaution. 


Below is Miss January. You can see how my stitches had gaps because I could not see very well.

Now I am using better light.

But what will I do to correct Miss January?
I'll be like Scarlett O'Hara and think about that tomorrow.



 Now to link up with Wendy and the Peacock Party.
What are you sewing?

  1. I've used stabilizer on some felt Christmas decorations I've made. Your demo looks great. Thank you for linking up to the Peacock Party.
