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

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

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.

I’m using this for free motion embroidery, and it works well. It’s also reasonably priced. I will buy again as needed. Excellent value.

Awesome!! I used this as a back and top stabilizer when I float hoped this potholder. It was amazing! It rinsed off with Great ease! I didn’t need to start to tear it away, just ran some cold water on it and it dissolved! I cannot wait to try it for other projects! I will definitely be buying more when I need it.

Great product great service thank you

Very thankful to find such a large amount at such an affordable price! And it fits in a giant ziplock so no worrying about it melting in a humid art supply closet *claps*

I love this stabilizer, its perfect for free standing lace and its also a great topper, rinses away clean and easy.

Great

By using this stabilizer it really helped make my embroidery design on towels really look smooth and stand out. I used my large embroidery hoop for the pattern I was working on and had to cut the stabilizer large enough to fit under the hoop. It would be nice if there was an adhesive of some sort to place just where the embroidery design would go and not have to waist so much of the stabilizer. None the less, it worked out great and I will continue to use it when doing towels or fluffy fabric. And there is not trace of the stabilizer once the towels were washed.

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.
