Looking for a stabilizer for loosely woven cotton tea towel. Considered Soft n Sheer, ironing temp. is a problem
Sulky Soft 'n Sheer Extra Stabilizer - White - 12'' x 8 yd. Roll
Looking to embroider some loosely woven heavier cotton tea towels for gifts (you can see a bit of light between stitches, but fabric FEELS heavy, if that makes sense). I'm wanting to stabilize to prevent puckering. The best thing I see on Sulky is Sheer and Soft, but the temperature it can tolerate and the temperature needed to iron wrinkles out of cotton do not seem compatible. And there are a few folks that still like to iron their tea towels, so I want them to be ok for that. What do you suggest?

Yes, Sulky Soft 'n Sheer is nylon and will not tolerate a high temperature. But you should be able to use a press cloth and warm iron safely. You can safely iron the rest of the towel with a cotton setting on your iron, just protect the embroidery. You may not even need a press cloth, but it's good to protect the embroidery threads, too.
