Does all stabilizer wash away? Mine says, tear-away. I am new and I just finished 2 onesies and I'm concerned about the scratchiness of the underside. I tore away most of it. It is for my neice's new baby to be and I will recommend to her that she wash it as I'm sure she has some Dreft, which I don't!

when i was brand new to embroidery, i didn't know anything about the stabilizers... so i just bought 1 of each kind they sold - i still have lots of them left over
the wash-away is pricier than the others. some of the tear-away are very soft.

I have some from OESD called "Gentle Touch" to iron on after embroidery so it is not scratchy. Onsies are probably a knit fabric and I would use a cutaway stablilzer that would stay in and support the stitches over the life of the garment, but cut it close after stitching, then apply a piece of the iron-on soft backing.
