Quilters Select Sticky Tearaway features a partially water-soluble tearaway foundation and a completely water-soluble adhesive. This makes the removal process easy, delicate stitches protected and fabrics are left soft and flexible.

1. Place Quilters Select Sticky Tearaway paper side up.
2. Use a straight pin to score the paper for removal, exposing the adhesive.
3. Place the item to be stitched over the adhesive; smooth into place.
4. When stitching is complete, gently tear away excess stabilizer from around the design.

For applique backgrounds/to build an applique:

3. Place background fabrics/shapes in place over the adhesive. Smooth into place.
4. Stitch to secure the fabrics.
5. When stitching is complete, gently tear away excess stabilizer. A damp cloth may be placed over stabilizer to begin dissolving the stabilizer fibers. Remaining stabilizer will continue to wash away as the finished item is laundered.     QSST-2010
