Sulky - 486-12 9-Yard Solvy Water Soluble stabilizer, 12 x 9.5 yd, White

Works really goodvwith minky cloth

I was embroidering stars and the moon onto my husbands coveralls that he wears to the desert using his telescope and going to meetings of his astronomy group. I needed a way to put the pattern onto his dark navy heavy knit cotton coveralls and this worked like a charm. And then, I just stuck it in water and in less than two seconds it was gone. It was amazing. It just disappeared. I was very impressed, kinda sprinting through the house to tell my husband how well it disappeared. (I get a little excited over simple things :) ) So if you have a big project that you cant put a pattern directly on this is the stuff to use. I highly recommend it. Very easy to work with also.

It arrived quickly - Im not very patient and was glad to see it arrive so quickly. The product can be used in several different ways. Its a benefit to my quilting designs.

I ordered this to use to help stabilize minky fabric appliqués for cutting and sewing. When I received it, it wasnt exactly what I was hoping for, but I figured out a way to make it work really well for my needs. I jus cut out a piece of minky that will fit my appliqué shape and cut a piece of solvy in the same size. I then soak the minky with a spray bottle of water and put the solve on top. The solve melts into the fabric and once it dries, it is nice and stiff for cutting and sewing my appliqués. Once I get everything together, I just throw the completed item in the wash and it come out perfect every time.

Great product used it on a super fuzzy sweater and end result was great

I wanted to us it for embroidery lace but it does not work. You need Vilene.

I had never worked with a fabric stabilizer before, but I wanted to floss embroider names onto fleece blankets, and someone suggested getting a water soluble stabilizer. So what I did was type the name in the size and font that I wanted on Word, printed it out, laid the clear stabilizer over it, and traced the names with a plain old black marker. So easy to write on it, and I gave it a few seconds to dry and didnt have any smudges. After that, I laid the stabilizer on top of the fleece (the right-side out) so the stitches wouldnt sink and get lost in the fleece. I embroidered the names and little characters, washed it, and it turned out great! I am very pleased with this product, and there is so much of it. Great buy!

But there is no question in my mind that it will work just fine for my intended purpose. This is a product that I didnt know existed, and actually found while looking for something else entirely. Im quite pleased that I did, because its perfect for stabilizing fine beadwork as it is done onto fabric.

If you are looking to hand embroider small things, perhaps look into the one with adhesive backing. My first impression when I opened the package was that it smells like glue. It just kind of felt and acted like a roll of dried glue. Tracing the design onto it wasnt too hard but it was tricky as it kept slipping around. While embroidering, I found that the material is a bit gummy. My needle would go through the fabric but not the stabilizer unless I stab really hard. This ended up stretching the stabilizer which messed up the alignment of my design. I did enjoy watching it dissolve though. Maybe I didnt like it because i am still a beginner. I think this is more fit for people who already have experience with a similar material.

A little flimsy feeling to work with making it difficult to align with fabric in the hoop.
