Sulky 8.5x11 stabilizer, 8.5 x 11 12-Pack, White

This stabilizer works great in places where other stabilizers dont stay in place. Its easy to press on the fabric and stays in place It takes a long time to get it rinsed off completely and it gets very sticky and gluey in the rinsing process.

I use this product to print cross stitch or embroidery patterns that I get from the internet. And it’s excellent. Comes off easily. Works great in my ink jet printer. Only issue is I wish it came in larger quantities!

Wow! This works so well! I had been struggling with trying to figure out how to do my stencils and this makes it so incredibly easy. Easy to use, stays on the fabric until you wet it and doesn’t leave any residue as long as you rinse/wash it well. 10/10 would recommend

Stays in place while embroidering, and resolves easily

Same great product as Kimberbell and half the price!

This is a game changer since you can print on it. Kinda hard to wash away, but I love it anyway

Ive ordered this product several times and each time its been delivered promptly and Ive never been disappointed. Thank you

This product printed perfectly with my laser printer, though I had been wary since heat can ruin it. Ive also hand traced embroidery patterns on to it with a variety of pens, heat-remove pens, pencils, etc, as well as a variety of cottons and evenweaves. It has removed cleanly from every project with water at about medium pressure or higher. I do have to say, I have any projects going at once, always, and the longer the solvy has been on the project the more it bubbles up from some adhesive wearing away. But as long as I began sewing already it really isnt a problem. If you use several small pieces on the same one, maybe dont adhere them unless youll be sewing those pieces within the month. I will definitely buy it again and again.

I love to embroider, but I dont enjoy transferring the pattern to the foundation fabric. I had three embroidery books with designs I was just itching to start stitching from--Simply Stitched by Yumiko Higuchi (an English translation of the Japanese Wool Stitch), available at Amazon, and two of Higuchis other books, Embroidery Life to Enjoy in Two Colors and One Color Embroidery and Goods (in Japanese; neither have been translated into English but both are available at Amazon and have awesome embroidery designs in them). I dont know where I came across this Sulky product (an embroidery blog?), but I decided to give it a try, even though the reviews were mixed. Within a week, I had half a dozen projects embroidered (and one embroidered needle book completed to give as a gift)--all thanks to this Sulky product. Here are some tips to get the best out of the product: Two out of three of the sheets that I sent through my printer went through effortlessly, but the third one jammed. Be sure that the corners of the page are in good shape (not bent or separating) before sending it through the printer. I printed a bunch of small projects (needle books, sachets, etc.) that filled the Sulky fabric sheet, then cut out the design I wanted to work on (I cut in between the sheets sticky side and its printed fabric side), leaving the remaining designs on the page until Im ready to use them (I put a piece of freezer paper over the top of the empty space on the page so it wont stick to anything). Then you just stick the design onto your fabric foundation of choice and start stitching. Though the product info says that a needle goes through the sticky Sulky fabric sheet easily and doesnt leave any residue, while this is mostly true, it does take me a little more oomph to get the needle through the layers sometimes (of course, the type of needle and foundation fabric you use will determine how smoothly it goes through as well). I used a variety of threads and flosses (Aurifil wool thread, overdyed/hand-dyed floss, DMC, Appleton crewel wool, etc.), all on various Robert Kaufman linen blends. The first design I did had quite a few French knots on it, and I was nervous about how the Sulky product would dissolve after stitching was completed, but it worked BEAUTIFULLY (even on the wool!). To finish, I used a shallow bowl with lukewarm water, put the embroidered design in it, swished it around, helped remove the fabric stickiness with my fingers, rinsed it in cold water, and hung it up to dry. There was no color bleeding (though you should use colorfast threads to be sure). Another benefit of this product is that when working on smaller projects, I didnt need to use a hoop, because the Sulky sheet acted as a stabilizer. This saved having to use a fabric piece that was big enough to hoop (which means savings in linen/fabric too). Another HUGE selling point for me is that it will be easy to embroider items like scarves and other clothing and home dec--basically, anywhere you can stitch with a needle and thread, which makes this a very versatile product. Ill use this product all the time now. Im so happy to actually be embroidering again; its very gratifying to see some finished pieces and to be looking forward to doing more. I will happily pay the price of this product to avoid hand-transferring designs.

So easy to use. I can draw or print. It sticks to the fabric well and rinses off easily.
