How lucky we are to have people like you to give us good instruction on sewing with decorative stitches. The stabilizer does make a huge difference in the end results -- we all want to have that great outcome for our sewing projects. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience with us -- so very helpful and has inspired me to try out some stitches on a blouse I am making!
I probably had a 60 wt. bobbin thread in the machine. It still wouldn't matter as the stitches are just too dense and heavy and the fabric isn't strong enough to support them without some additional help.

I just got the MC9450 and this is extremely helpful! Thank you Kim
You are so welcome!
Thank you Kim 💙
Thank you for that, clean and clear teaching
Thanks Kim! I will remember this when I am using decorative stitches. I will need to buy the stabilizer.
Good to know! Thanks!
Freezer paper also makes a good, cheap tearaway stabilizer. Dry-iron the plasticized surface to the back of your fabric.
Big thank you
Did you change tension at all? Or what is the tension at?
Can you use the same kind of tear away stabilizer for heirloom stitches like the ladder (where I will use a wing needle)? Thanks.
You should be able to, just be careful when tearing away that stabilizer so it doesn't pull out the stitching.
What did you use as your bobbin thread? Would a 60 weight bobbin thread have helped with the tunneling?

Light weight?
