Wash Away - Water Soluble Machine Embroidery Stabilizer Backing & Topping 10 x 3 Yd roll - Light Weight - Cut into Variable Sizes for Machine Embroidery and Hand Sewing

I really like using Brothread merchandise. Im currently using wash away stabilizer (aka water soluble or WSS) for fsl (free standing lace) and fsa (free standing applique). This is much better than the lightweight Pelon I use for emergencies. When doing fsl with New Brothread Wash Away M, you will need to double your layers. I was able to get away with a single layer on fsa but I dont recommend it if there is a lot of lace detail outside the fabric area. At $9.99 for 10 x 3 yrds, this was a decent price and an excellent alternative to the much hyped about and expressive Vilene. Just an FYI, many brands are created in the same factories with personalized labels. After testing a few different brands and types, I try to stick with the ones that have offered me a great price and excellent customer service. While I love and use New Brothread embroidry thread, I prefer to use H20 Gone stabilizer for fsl and fsa, sold by Amazon seller Superpunch, as it seems to be more firm in my opinion. I recommend this product, New Brothread Wash Away stabilizer, as it is consistently reliable once you become familiar with it.

First time I have used this product. Was easy to use and did what I wanted it to do. I used it for a free standing lace project.

First time zI used water soluale stabilizer and zI was impressed with the FSL results.

Refectory for my machine embroidery. Second time I’ve purchased.

This is my go-to washaway stabilizer for free-standing lace embroidery, adding light embroidery designs to tea towels, t-shirts and hoodies that I want unbacked for a soft drape, and anytime else I want the stabilizer to vanish. This is a nonwoven style that completely vanishes in luke warm water. For light and medium designs, or when using a woven fabric, one layer has worked very well for me with no tearing. (See the butterflies from Anita Goodesign for example.) When Im doing free-standing lace I usually use two layers with the grain going in opposite directions. Ive had zero problem with tearing when I use two layers. (And at this price theres no guilt to use it that way.) What I love most is that I can rinse away most of the stabilizer but leave enough starch in a FSL itemto give it shape (such as the flowers these made from a design from Embroidery by TM). If you want it softer, just soak it for a bit, change the water and soak again, or toss it in the machine if its machine washable. Ive tried about 5 brands of stabilizer, but I keep coming back to this as my favorite.

The package arrived as scheduled. The price is the best Ive found. I do not use this for embroidery. I used it to stabilize slippery fabrics for sewing seams, hemming and placing pockets, appliques, and other hard to handle parts. This stabilizes the fabric and makes sewing easier. Then add water and it disappears. I highly recommend.

I was leery of buying this product because it is hard to see if it is vilene or actual water soluble like wet and gone so when it came i opened the box and looked at it and sure enough it was just the same looks the same works the same for a much more reasonable price.

Was a little disapointed at first, but found that if I do a second rinse it works perfectly.

I have not used it yet but it feels like it is great stablizer. Not plastic feeling and says its wash away. Will do another review after using it.

I have bought this before and I love the product. This time it was delivered in a brown paper bag and left on my porch, during a rainstorm. I dont blame the manufacturer I blame the delivery person, the were ruined. I will reorder later.
