> 3 dayI didnt print my design, I just traced it. Since it was small I also cut it out to match the area being embroidered. I found the stickum didnt stick that well. I had to pin it in place to keep it from moving. I think it was my mistake because I should have cut this big enough to be caught by my embroidery hoop. It did wash off nicely and next time I will cut it bigger. It just seems such a waste of material.

> 3 dayMakes transferring a pattern so so easy! Have used multiple times and have never had any issues with it unsticking or not coming off when done!

> 3 dayIt works! I printed a detailed embroidery design, did the needlework by hand, and then washed the backing away. I had been tracing my designs with a lightbox before this. These work wonderfully better - I can print in color and follow my design more easily. You do have to be able to wash your fabric, however - just in warm water, by hand or washer, whatever your fabric can manage. But its good to be aware of that in case you are doing a design on special fabric you dont want to get wet. I use muslin and felt for my designs, so it works a treat! No residue. I love it!

> 3 dayI love this product. You can run the sheets through your printer for perfect design transfer. Easy to remove the backing paper. Can even be gently moved to another area of your fabric. Dissolves quickly and thoroughly after a soak in warm water. Do not touch the sheets if you have any moisture on your fingertips.

> 3 dayI’ve used several types of pattern transfers and this is by far my fav! It’s so easy to simply print and apply (rather than reverse print and iron on). And it comes away FULLY and EASILY! Will be using this from now on!

> 3 dayI liked this product for embridery. Since embroidering on clothes. This stabilizer easily held on and stuck until I washed it. It washed off like it was never there to begin with! Highly recommend this stabilizer if you want to print a design to make. I used this to stitch anime characters and anime related things to my clothing (yes I’m a weeb) but with this embroidering designs are endless. Just copy a picture, paste it into google docs or word (whichever you so choose) adjust the size, change it to black and white or keep the color, and stitch away!

Greater than one weekI 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.

> 3 dayI 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!
