Overview
Dissolving away once wetted, this Sulky Solvy leaves no stabilizer showing on top or underneath. It works as a transfer agent, a design template and a stitch support. Sheets arrive in a package of twelve in a standard letter size.
A single stabilizer covers many jobs, from computerized embroidery and quilting to buttonholes, cut work and heirloom sewing. The sheets are fixed in size, so large designs will need pieces joined, and the listing says nothing about rinse time.
Who it's for
Embroiderers, quilters and heirloom sewers who work on lightweight fabrics and want nothing left behind will use it for templates and support. Anyone stitching dense, heavy designs, or who wants permanent backing, should look at other types.
Pros and cons
- Dissolves away in water
- Works as a design template
- Many sewing uses listed
- Fixed sheet size
- Rinse instructions not listed
- Lightweight, not for heavy designs
- Needs water to remove
Performance notes
The sheet supports stitching while dry, then melts away when wetted so nothing remains on the surface or the back. It can be marked up with a design and transferred onto fabric. Heavy or dense stitching may need more support than a lightweight sheet gives.
