Specifically designed for hard-to-hoop items, Wet 'N' Set is an adhesive-backed stabilizer that allows you to secure socks, neck ties, bags, and karate belts so they can be easily and professionally embroidered. This unique stabilizer features a moisture-activated adhesive on the back that will hold any item in place within the hoop. Avoid problems with peel-and-stick backings that will gum up needles and the machine or spray adhesives that release harmful chemicals into the air.

Wet 'N' Set comes in four types to suit any embroidery application: lightweight, regular weight, cutaway, and cutaway black. It can be used for medium to heavy stitch counts, medium to heavyweight wovens and knits, and even emblems.

It's simple to use and only requires lightly applying moisture with a damp sponge, rag, foam paint brush, or stamp roller. Make sure the adhesive side is up. Do not over wet it! Lay the blank item on top of the adhesive and smooth out any wrinkles. Then embroider and trim. If you need to reposition, or you find the adhesive too aggressive - simply go right to the glue line - where the adhesive touches the fabric - remoisten it lightly! This will reactivate the adhesive and it will peel off easily.
