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

Love this product. I’m new to embroidery and have used this to print pictures on to embroider, making the learning process easy. I ONLY use a hoop smaller than the page so that it stays taught as I’m stitching. Tip 1: I have is to clean the needle as soon as it gets tougher to stitch- the ‘glue’ builds up on your needle and just needs cleaned off! Tip 2: I take my project out of the embroidery hoop and rinse. I don’t use soap! Any tough spots I lightly rub with my fingers. Then lay flat to dry and put back in the hoop!

The product works great and just as described. I love using it for my embroidery!

I love using this when I do hand embroidery. I love how I can just print the design and it washes off really well.

If you are looking for an easy way to go complex embroidery this is perfect. All you do is print the design on the special fabric paper. then place it on the piece of fabric and sew on top of it. Then you just wash it off and it comes out looking super clean like it was not even there. I find this very helpful if I am trying to embroider words on something because it makes it super easy to line up all the letters so they do not look off.

what I like most is the fact you dont have to trace patterns for hand embroidery any longer! You just put a sheet in your copier & print out the design. remove the backing to reveal the sticky part, put it on your fabric & embroidery. when done, just rinse your item & all the trace of the sulky goes away. amazing! of course if your pattern is larger than the sheet, just use more sheets & as you stitch your embroidery, add the different sections & continue on. I also trim off the sections without the designs & you can use the pieces in future projects. this is very sticky & holds itself in position quite well. I have not had any problem with the sulky moving. since the sulky will disappear you can always change the pattern to suit you & no one will be the wiser! I have not had any problems with my needle gumming up at all, but if you do use wipe the needle with a little rubbing alcohol & you are good to go. I also have not hand any residue from the sulky on my fabric.

Works well for machine embroidery

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.

Really easy and simple to use! This was really adhesive to the sweater and did not budge at all once I put it on. It stayed nicely, and when I rinsed it under warm water, it washed right off! I drew an image in pencil and put this on a dark blue sweater which made the pencil difficult to see, so definitely use a bold color for your design.

The Sulky Printable Fabric Solvy stabilizer, 8.5 x 11 12-Pack, White is a very good product. I use this product for hand embroidery. Its not very tacky and is very easy to dissolve in water.

This worked great the first time I tried it. Here are my pros and cons: Pros: Easy to print on and apply Because its semi-opaque white, you can use it on dark fabric Easy to remove when finished Cons: Makes your needle sticky (the biggest con) Because its semi-opaque, you cant really see how your thread looks with the fabric underneath It peeled up a bit at the edges. If doing again, I might leave myself more of a buffer around my design. I didnt want to waste it, so I printed two designs on one sheet. Its definitely the easiest transfer method Ive used yet for embroidery. For reference, I have tried t-shirt transfers, which I had to peel off tiny pieces at a time; transfer pencils, which faded before I was through stitching (and which I couldnt use on darker fabrics); and drawing straight onto the fabric with quilting pencil, that never came off as well as I would have liked. Ill be looking into the other types of Solvy to see if any of the others dont do the sticky needle thing, but Im glad I still have several sheets of this stuff left!
