2 0 1 6 M A Y P R I N T W E A R || 103 PRESSURE-SENSITIVE STABILIZER Cotswold presents Thermal Stick, a unique, pressure-sensitive, fusible stabilizer with a specially for- mulated adhesive that keeps it in place while embroidering, but makes it easy to reposition multiple pieces as necessary. It also won't gum up needles to avoid thread breaks, needle breaks, or damage to garments. It is machine washable and dry-cleanable. Once it is heat-applied, the stabilizer creates a permanent bond with almost any fabric. Available lengths include a 40" roll in 25-, 50-, or 100-yard lengths; a 20" roll in 25-, 50-, or 100-yard lengths; and 8" X 8" squares in packages of 250 sheets.
