Description

The fabric where you want the design to be printed should be lightweight. Otherwise, you cannot do the stitching properly, and the design will look messy.

Step 14: Stitch through both layers above the design and continue the process until you complete it. The important thing is to make sure all the residue has dissolved and no little bits remain as you will have to soak it all over again. Make sure you dry your finished embroidery flat and iron when dry.

What about stickiness?

For standard machine stitching (free-motion or machine-fed), by far the most popular projects are scarves. By sandwiching lots of threads, yarns or ribbons between layers of Solvy and stitching over them, you can create the most amazing scarves. Step 9: As you complete, take the piece of cloth to place the design. The best part to place the pattern is where the color has faded or the print has come out. I hope that answers your questions about which product I use in which situation! Let me know if you have any other questions about any of them. I love them all and I’m always happy to share info about products that make your crafting easier and more fun. 🙂 Step 10: Take the embroidery hoop, and after that, you must place a cloth in it. Make sure you do not pull the fabric in the hoop too tight. It’s because the fabric will come out when you want to separate the hoop.

A: Computerized embroidery probably uses more heavy water soluble products like Ultra Solvy (film-type) or Fabri-Solvy (fabric-type) than any other technique. Freestanding lace is extremely popular, meaning you machine embroider just on the stabilizer with thread – no fabric is involved (usually) and it creates a lacy design that you can see through. For in-the-hoop embroidery projects, many people prefer Fabri-Solvy so no stabilizer at all shows when the project is complete. Q: If I don’t do computerized embroidery, where would I use water-soluble stabilizer? The stitching needs to be about the pattern or else the design you want, and you won’t get it. Also, it would help if you prefer doing small stitches to make it look attractive. Sewing professionals use it to get beautiful designs printed on the cloth. Suppose you want to get an image of your friends stitched on your t-shirt. You print your pattern right on the sheets. You can print them with an inkjet or laser printer, or photocopy onto it. You can also trace onto it – but I hate tracing.I think this is where most people get confused, because I use both of them extensively when I work with felt. It depends on the ink. I usually photocopy my projects or print them on my laser printer and those have never been an issue for me. But a couple of people reported the ink from their inkjet printers bleeding a bit when they rinsed off the stabilizer. Every brand is different so test the ink from your printer if you want to be sure! If you run into bleeding, try printing it out in draft mode – that uses a lot less ink. Finally, people use freezer paper for this appliqué method.That used to be my favorite method – until I tested some of the new fusible adhesives out on the market and found a new favorite. 🙂

Patti Lee, VP of Consumer Relations at Sulky of America, answers your questions all day, every day. She’s a true expert on Sulky products, so we asked Patti to share the 10 most common questions she receives about Sulky water-soluble stabilizers, including Solvy®, Super Solvy™, Ultra Solvy™ and Fabri-Solvy™. Here are the top 10 water-soluble stabilizer questions answered. Q: Why should I use a water-soluble stabilizer and where? In allcases – the freezer paper will peel right off when you’re done.It doesn’t leave any residue behind, and you can reuse it a LOT of times before it loses its ability to fuse.Step 15: Take the design out from the embroidery hoop as you complete the entire thing. Cut around the picture in the same pattern as the design. Many factors play a part when considering how to transfer a pattern to your fabric… …these can include the design, the type of fabric, the color of the fabric, if you have a steady hand, how long the pattern will take to stitch. I use this on everything I embroider. EVERYTHING. But it’s especially useful on problem fabrics. You know what I’m talking about – the ones that are really hard to transfer an image to. I LOVE LOVE LOVE using Heat & Bond Lite fusible adhesive on printable sheets, as opposed to the stuff you can buy by the bolt. It’s more expensive – yes – but it lets me skip over the tedious tracing step and jump right to the fun part of my appliqué project. That’s worth money to me. 🙂

Step 7: Now, you must take it out from the water and wash it with lukewarm water. Keep the pieces to dry up and make sure you are not using direct heat. Step 2: Two ways are there to get the design on the fabric. One is by cutting a piece of stabilizer, putting the pattern over it, and then tracing using a hand and pencil. A: Sometimes you just want to “paint” it onto a project: Dissolve one yard of Solvy (36 x 20 inches) or 1/2 yard of Super Solvy (18 x 20 inches) in 8 oz. of water. Brush liquid Solvy onto flimsy or sheer fabrics that are to be stitched. Do not use it on non-washable fabrics like velvet or silk.A: For computerized embroidery, it’s good to use what the designer suggests. If there is no recommendation, then use Sulky Fabri-Solvy in two layers for most projects. Q: When wouldn’t I use water-soluble stabilizer? Step 4: Another method is to get the pattern printed on the stabilizer, and it fits perfectly on the ink-jet printer. If you have a long piece, you must cut it into the required size. I usually put mine into the water upside down so any residue, and printer ink particles, can disperse to the bottom of the basin, but here it’s the right way up so you can see how the Fabri Solvy is beginning to curl and disappear …. Once you’re done stitching, rinse your piece under warm water, and watch the Fabri-Solvy melt away. It may help to use your thumb to gently agitate the fabric when rinsing. The fabric-like stabilizer provides a supple feel of fabric with the easy removability of a water soluble stabilizer.
