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

I will not monogram without it! Makes stitches look smoother

Saw some recommendations for Sulky to embroider detailed projects, and decided to try it out. Material was much like saran wrap - stuck to itself, difficult to lay flat, could only be written on with a permanent marker, etc. - but I kind of expected that. When it came time to embroider, there was no adhesion to the fabric. I tried pinning it down, but it was difficult to pin it completely flat and was too loose to accurately show what I was trying to embroider. I tried pressing it in my hoop, but the material was stretched too taunt and tore in places, messing up my design. This material might work for machine embroideries or other applications, but when it comes to hand embroidery, Id recommend something else. On an unrelated note, if anyone would like to buy a full roll of sulky minus a 5 x 5 square, let me know

I have been using Sulky Solvy for almost a year to make great Shabby Chic scarves, and it holds together many layers of fibers - fabric, yarn, angelina fibers... you name it! Once I have it all stitched up, the stabilizer rinses out, leaving a great-looking scarf. This size is perfect for the project, as I like to make the scarves about 6 inches wide... I lay out my fibers on one half, then fold the other half over and pin in place. I understand you can also press together using a pressing cloth, but I havent tried that yet.

Good quality lightweight product to used when embroidering on anything with a texture. It allows the design to sew smoothly without interference of naps or pile.

I have used this brand of this product for years, and I was merely restocking my supply.

This is the only brand I will use! Great for embroidery on towels and stretchy fabrics. Easy to remove.

I just started the hobby of machine embroidery and this topping is one of the first things that I found was necessary for some type of fabrics, especially those that have a deep pile or texture. Most of it rips off fairly easily after embroidering but the rest has to be removed with water. It is very sticky when wet but does fully dissolve. It’s not as easy to use as I would like since it is very thin and clingy but I find that floating it on top of the hoop works best for me. I did use the suggestion to dissolve the excess pieces in hot water and I put that into a spray bottle and found that it worked well to stiffen the fabric. However I found that the mixture in the plastic bottle spoiled and turned gray. I then read a hint that adding rubbing alchohol to the mixture keeps it from going bad so I tried that and so far, so good. It does the job that I need it to do so I will continue to purchase it.

I saw a project in a craft magazine that required Sulky. I had never used this product before and Amazon to the rescue. The packaging was great, the product I received was as advertised, and instructions were included. I’m looking forward to using the product.

Great for use on towels and fleece. Washes right off and its very easy to use. Ive bought the same brand many times from different retailers and get the same great results.

I love to hand embroider but lack the skills to draw. This is the perfect solution. It is so easy to use and allows for endless embroidery possibilities.
