Cleaning Freestanding Edges 25 When using tear away stabilizer on freestanding objects that have a satin stitch edge, you will notice that some of the fibers tend to stick through and give a very unclean look to your finished design. Here are some tips on cleaning up your project! Tear-away will leave some fibers sticking out past the final satin stitch which can easily be cleaned up. Using a lighter, quickly run the flame around the entire edge of the freestanding project and you will see them shrink up and disappear. Do this in a safe place and make sure you take proper safety precautions when trying this. 1 For any additional stabilizer showing through the satin stitch, a quilt marker that matches closely to your thread is a great way to finish cleaning up your design! 2
