I don't think you're thinking of stabilizer used for machine embroidery. I believe that type of stabilizer is primarily NOT iron on, though it does come in a sticky back style. I haven't come across any iron-on type, but then I haven't looked for any either.
I'm not sure what Penny is having trouble with, but perhaps she can use the stabilizer to sandwich the slippy fabric, so that the feed dogs and foot are against the stabilizer and not the fabric. I've used plain old tissue paper like this, but not with the specific fabric Penny is working with.

Tear Away Stabilizer I hope someone can prove me wrong, but I don't think there is a tear-away stabilizer that *isn't* iron on. _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
