Stabilisers & Backings

‘Solvy’ is technically a ‘washaway’, as it is a water-soluble material. Solvy differs as it appears plastic and transparent, and has a filmy thin texture. Solvy is the ideal topping for fabric and materials with a pile – towels, polar fleece garments, etc. The softer and bulkier the fabric, the easier stitches tend to disappear into the material resulting in unsightly embroideries – so use Solvy to combat this. It is not ideal for lacemaking, as it is not as thick/stiff, and is likely to tear under the strain.

Clear (Opaque) – 30 centimetres by 50 metre roll

Aquaweb washaway, as its name implies, is a stabiliser that dissolves and “washes away” in water. Use this woven material as backing and stability for embroidered lacemaking, then simply dissolve it away in warm soapy water to leave your designs behind! Typically used for lace-making and other free-standing projects.

Sheer and soft fusible is a light-weight interfacing, also known as “Cover Up” or “Cover It Up”.

This soft and sheer, 100% polyester fusible lightweight fabric has a unique multi-directional stretch.

Apply by ironing on to the wrong side of the embroidered design (with your iron set at a medium temperature) any possible irritation when wearing embroidered clothing e.g. babies clothes, T-Shirts, blouses etc. Because it is sheer and soft, this product is designed to not add any weight or bulk to your garment / project.
