"I've been using this cutaway for several years, and it has been consistently reliable. The weight is great and suits most of my projects. However, I would prefer it to be a bit thicker for added stability on certain fabrics. Overall, it's a solid option, just a little extra thickness would enhance it further."

It holds fabric well and keeps it in place. I did notice the needle got a bit sticky, but a gentle wipe with an alcohol-soaked Q-tip solved that. I finished my project without any further issues and will definitely buy again."

"Before using this brand, I tried two others. The first was Sulky's, which was good but too expensive. The second was a complete disaster. However, this product is excellent! I prefer it to Sulky's for garment adherence. It’s quicker to use without the printed grid, and I appreciate the thickness and quality of adhesion. I've used several rolls and won’t switch unless I have to."

"I have an embroidery machine and this stabilizer works great! I don’t need to float other stabilizers underneath like some designs suggest.
