Tear-Away Quilt & Embroidery Foundation – 8.5" x 11" (25 Pack)
Ditch the stiff, brittle paper of the past. Our foundation sheets are made from a soft, non-woven rayon/polyester blend specifically engineered for sewing. This material feeds through your printer like paper but behaves like fabric under your needle. Whether you are creating complex quilt blocks or intricate embroidery, these sheets provide the stability you need without the bulk or needle-dulling friction of standard paper.
Why Quilters & Embroiderers Love These Sheets
- Translucent Finish: Easily trace designs or position the sheet over specific fabric motifs for "fussy cutting" and perfect alignment.
- Needle Friendly: The soft fibers won't dull your machine needles or cause "gumming" common with adhesive-backed stabilizers.
- Clean Removal: Once your stitching is complete, the material tears away cleanly from the thread line without distorting your delicate stitches.
- Machine Washable: If left in as a permanent stabilizer, the material will not shrink, stiffen, or yellow after washing.
🖨️ Printer & Software Compatibility
These sheets are designed to work seamlessly with top quilting and design software, including Electric Quilt (EQ5, EQ6, EQ7), Block Base, and Sew Precise.
Laser Printer Pro-Tip: Always use the Manual Bypass Tray and set your paper type to "Lightweight" or "Transparency" to ensure a smooth feed through the fuser and prevent jamming.
Frequently Asked Questions
Do I have to tear it away?
No. While it is designed to tear away easily, many quilters leave it in as a permanent foundation. It is soft enough that it won't add noticeable bulk to your finished quilt or garment.
Can I use these for hand embroidery?
Absolutely. You can print your design directly on the sheet and use it as a stabilizer in a hoop. It is much easier to stitch through than standard paper stabilizers.
Will the ink transfer to my fabric?
Inkjet ink is absorbed into the fibers. We recommend letting the printed sheet dry completely before pinning it to your fabric to ensure no smudging occurs during handling.
