http://www.lordsewing.co.uk is a good source of embroidery 'stuff'. They have a big sale yearly which are well worth keeping a eye out for. I post here usually. I am still working my way through a huge roll that I got there almost two years ago. At the moment I have a piece of fabric that I got in a pound shop that is ground covering. (A friend uses this all the time with great success). I think we all have our different first choice of stabiliser.

Some use different for different projects, however I use one that sticks onto the back of the material for everything and would not do without it.

I am also in the UK at the moment, buy the sticky Stabiliser from Barnyarns(Google them and you will also see them on line).

Very helpful. They sell lots of things for your embroidery, ask for a catalogue too.
