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

This product is very thin. I purchased for a free standing lace project; I had to use 6 layers because the needle kept ripping the stabilizer. Might be good as a top layer.

It is an excellent product. Was very pleased to be able to order it from Smazon

I bought this stabilizer at the same time I bought my embroidery machine. I went with it because I liked the idea of a water soluble stabilizer (I hate it when people dont trim the regular stabilizer back). I got it on the same day that I received my embroidery machine, and was excited to give it a try. It may not have been the best choice for a newbie to embroidery such as myself. I found that I could not get it taut enough in the hoops, no matter what I tried, and it would cause the fabric to slip out as well. The thread knots and breaks, and all of the samples I attempted to embroider ended up skewed because the fabric would slip. I painstakingly checked thread tensions and all of the machine settings, and they were set properly, so I figured it must be a problem with the texture of the stabilizer. I went down the street to Joann and picked up some tearaway stabilizer to use, and havent had any issues. Its still slow going as Im learning, but the thicker stuff seems to be more user friendly. I did test the water solubility inadvertently, however, and found that it melts right away. I was having a hissy fit because I couldnt get it to work and tipped my water over onto the project Id been working on, and it dissolved almost instantly. So, that was neat. Its why it gets 3 stars. Im sure that someone who knows what theyre doing could do much better, but for a noob, its probably safer to start with the traditional stabilizer.

Havent actually used this yet, but have used Sulky Solvy water soluble stabilizer before, this was just a good way to purchase it. It usually comes in a piece that is 21 1/2 inches by 36 inches for about $8 and thats expensive. So this was a much better deal. I do machine embroidery and use this on sweatshirts and towels, have used it on free standing lace, you just need to follow the instructions of your design to get the best results, but this product is great. Just be sure to cut the excess off before putting it into the water as it becomes gummy.

Sulky has never failed me. Have tried others but always come back. Quickly dissolves, substantial thickness to work with and just works great for my needs.

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.

Very happy with this product. Im new to machine embroidery but I found this stabilizer to work great. I have already purchased more.

I use it for embroidery and it works great it washes away. Perfect for my use.

Although not typically used in jersey making, I use this product at hems. It really cuts down on how much the double needle draws the fabric into a ridge. And best of all it washes away when finished.

This stabilizer works great for any projects that require it. Shipped quickly.
