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.

Sulky makes one of the best water soluble stabilizer for the home embroidery enthusiast. It makes a great top layer for terry cloth projects, and double it up for projects like patches or free standing lace. I can not recommend this enough for home embroidery fanatics like me.

LOVE this product. Use it on sher fabric and no rips.Beading was easy to use.

This works well to prevent knit fabrics from stretching as you sew them. Then it disolves and disappears instantly in the water stream from a faucet. It doesnt even need hot water, room temperature tap water works fine. It is very thin and flexible, similar to plastic food wrap, except its not stretchy and doesnt cling. That makes it a little challenging to get pinned down. It helps to cut a piece much larger than you think you need, then use masking tape out at the edges, before pinning near where youre working.

Just what I needed

It works but more for lighter designs, heavier designs it tears so easily after a while, sometimes right away so I will use this for smaller designs but use a medium weight tearaway for the more biggger heavier designs.

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

Works really goodvwith minky cloth

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!

I am glad I followed my friends recommendation to purchase this product! Great for machine embroidering on knits and fleece!
