What stabilizer do I need to embroidery a baby onesie, pre shrunk t shirts and light weight fleece
Thanks for the questions, Lisa. Here are some recommendations for you:
1) For a onesie: I would use a good medium weight cutaway stabilizer. Hemingworth or Floriani are brands we carry at Embroidery.com that I'd recommend. If you're worried about any roughness of the stabilizer against baby's skin, I'd recommend fusing a piece of soft interfacing (cut larger than the embroidery/stabilizer) to the back of the onesie once you're done with your embroidery.
2) For a pre shrunk tshirt, I would use just a basic sheet of medium weight cutaway, or if you are worried about shifting, you could add a sheet of Floriani's No Show Fusible Nylon Mesh.
2) For the lightweight fleece, I would again use a sheet of medium weight cutaway. If you're worried about your stitches sinking into the fleece, I'd also recommend a sheet of water soluble topping such as Floriani's Water Soluble Topping or Hemingworth's Super Solv.
I hope this helps. Please let us know if you need further assistance.

I make face masks for for anybody who needs one. I charge nothing. As long as they realize they are not N-95 masks and will not prevent the virus from getting through. However they will keep them from spreading it and will keep them (somewhat) from touching their face. I am making the masks from quilting cotton and would like to find some lightweight/sheer-weight fusible lining to help the masks keep their shape and to offer a small additional couple of layers of protection. Do you have any? If so, what is the price? I've used up all of mine.
Thanks for any help,
Emily
