Water Soluble

This was my first time purchasing the wash-away stabilizer. I bought it to make some free standing lace ornaments with my embroidery machine. This is exactly what I needed and it works beautifully! It stands up to the heavy embroidery needed for the free standing lace designs and it washes away very well. I have already ordered another roll of it since my first one is over half gone already. I highly recommend this product. I have included a couple photos, one of an ornament just finished and still attached to the stabilizer. The other of two finished ornaments after the stabilizer was washed away.

This is a nice, strong stabilizer. I have been using it mostly for machine embroidery on towels and shirts where I don't like leave in stabilizers. It's also great for free standing lace. I would like to use it for everything, actually. It's the best I've tried. For bulky items I hoop only the stabilizer and spray baste my item over it. No problems whatsoever. Sometimes I have used scraps for topping, and that works well, also.

When embroidering on fabric with nap, I always use a water soluble topping to keep the embroidery from sinking into the nap. I had been using another brand of water soluble stabilizer but decided to give this brand a try. I am very happy with this SuperStable brand. It is easy to cut and pin and tears away quite nicely after the design is finished. I spray a bit of water on any bits that remain on the fabric. This nine inch roll makes it easy to cut just the amount that I need for my hoop. I plan to continue buying this product and do recommend it.

"This water-soluble stabilizer dissolves easily in water, providing excellent support during embroidery without leaving residue. Perfect for embroidering on towels!"

I am torn about my experience with this stabilizer (no pun intended). On the one hand, it was thinner and harder to hoop than other wash away stabilizers I have used. It's stretchy and thin, so getting it taught without warping is a challenge. The thing I liked about it was how easy it was to remove. I was surprised at how easily it tore away from the back of the embroidery after stitching was finished. It was like tear away stabilizer. To me, this is a nice bonus. There are some things I want to gift people without washing after embroidering and which have exposed wash away stabilizer (like t-shirts). As you can see in the photos, a two-layered jersey and terry cloth item I embroidered came out a little more puckered than it needed to, because of the stretchiness of the stabilizer. But the back looks great because there is no exposed stabilizer. I suppose you could play with this stuff to get it tighter in the hoop or perhaps use it with items that have less stretch and of course not items as heavy as this double layered one (jersey is probably not the best and if I were sewing the double-layered item myself, I'd embroider the top before assembling it with the back piece of fabric). I'm thinking this stuff would work great for the front face of machine embroidery over minky, terry cloth, and other high pile fabrics, to prevent the embroidery from sinking into the fabric. I would pair it with a firmer/less stretchy stabilizer on the back.

I embroider lots of baby items & tshirts. This weight is great for both. Been using it a while now. Brand seems dependable as well.

but it's fantastic for putting on top of washable/prewashed silk or velvet. it shreds from needle punctures very quickly so don't use it for fsl, pelon is pretty much king in that department. wash is also very goopy and slimy so do not use it on any fabric that will stain easily when removing with water. it's totally fine on cottons. because of the goopy density it really works well on top of velvet to ensure the pile doesn't get in the way of your designs and holds them very well structurally. If you're using it on any kind of silk it's only useful on washable prewashed fabrics. The goop can leave some nasty waterstaining otherwise except for chiffon. don't use it on silk charmeuse unless you want some nasty stain bleeding. I honestly wouldn't even want to find out what would happen after dry cleaning this stuff. However, it's fantastic on prewashed dupioni or shantung.

Don't wet it to stick it down to velour terry towels and don't use tape. Best to just hold it in place or baste in place. I pulled some of the velour out of the towel using masking tape to hold down. Otherwise, the product is great. I love that it came in a thick ziplock bag. My other roll I added to the bag because it already had a spot on it that got wet.

Great Product, it just works. I mostly use for high nap towels.

This product works so well, and not only cheaper, but better than anything I can find locally. It tears off so easily which is another very strong feature. Highly recommend.
