> 3 dayPerfect for machine embroidery and this stabilizer is one of the first things youll need to use on variety of fabrics. It comes off fairly easy after embroidering. Different feel from the Pellon brand, its like working with plastic wrap, thin & clingy but does the job. For the price its worth it. For 9 yards its a good product and easy to store away compared to the ones you buy at the fabric store by the yard.

> 3 dayStabilizer was packaged well. Ive used it numerous time to embroider images on bibs. The only thing I was surprised was the gooey feel as your rinsing it. However was told to expect that from water soluble stabilizer. Other than that product is as describe and would definitely purchase from this provider again.

> 3 dayI 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!

> 3 dayI used this all the time. Whether I am using this on a fabric that has a heavy nap, and need a double layer, or I am using it alone and still use two layers for making my own patch for a decoration alone as itself. It is easy. This was a good price in itself. I have priced it in stores and have not found it cheaper. I go through this stabilizer like it is water. I really think that anyone who is just beginning to learn to embroider, there should be a beginner package of stabilizers with a video of how to use these together with the fabrics and the proper threads out there so that they can know what to use and understand their machines. Then they will not get caught up like I did in the beginning. This would be a great part of a beginners kit for sure or even part of a wonderful sewing kit for that special someone out there that sews all the time. I know I would love it....

> 3 daySulky has always made reliable products, and this is not an exception. I always use single layers on top of medium-weight fabric and two or three layers on top of terry cloth and have been very satisfied with the results. Bits and pieces of this stabilizer can be dissolved in water (with a little alcohol to ward off mold) and brushed on thin cottons for stability. Let it dry thoroughly before embroidering. The brushing on and drying technique can be done several times to stiffen thin fabrics. I always test on a scrap of fabric first to make sure no water marks stain the fabric.

> 3 dayBought for wife, she says: I bought this for machine embroidery thinking it was iron on, OOPS. But I discovered that dissolving a yard of the stabilizer in hot water, put it in a small spray bottle and sprayed the fabric AFTER I put it in the hoop. Then let that dry in front of a small space heater. That made the fabric tight as a drum and very stiff. I always had issues getting the fabric tight enough on the hoop, but this way it shrinks a little as it dries and tightens it that way. Actually I was able to do more embroidery with the spray than with it dry and tacked onto fabric! So it turned out to be of good value. And my machine did better embroidery with the fabric being stiff from the spray RATHER than stitching or ironing the Solvy to the fabric. So I was pleasantly surprised. I actually like this better than ironing on stabilizer, or stitching stabilizer to fabric. And after your done just throw it in the wash to remove stabilizer. Instead of having to pick at every stray piece of tear away stabilizer that is left on the fabric after embroidery is done. Which I usually had to use tweezers to get all of it lol, but this way I dont have to worry about the embroidery looking sloppy from the tear away stabilizer scraps left behind.

> 3 dayA little flimsy feeling to work with making it difficult to align with fabric in the hoop.
