Great Tool in the Laundry Aisle
Magic Spray Sizing is a product available in the laundry supply section of your local store, but did you know it is useful for embroidery as well?
Spray on to stiffen or add body to many fabric types from washable sheers to denim. Spray on items that have been pre-washed before embroidery to restore body.
Spray on cloth and apply to stubborn hoop marks. There is no need to iron – just dampen the marks slightly with the damp cloth. This method is particularly effective for removing hoop marks on items that are prone to marks made by contact with plastic, such as distress dyed fabrics, neon dyed fabrics and dark-colored knits such as t-shirts or sweatshirts.
I have use spray sizing on fabrics for stiffening and adding body, but have not tried it for removing hoop burn marks. But then, I rarely hoop my fabric for embroidery. I hoop my stabilizer, spray it with 505 Spray Adhesive and adhere my fabric to it. It is so much quicker and prevents all those unwanted burn marks! :)
