While carrying out the process, a few things are there that you should keep in mind. If you do not avoid that, you won’t get the optimum result. Step 3: After you complete the stitching part, you have to place the pieces on a bowl containing water.

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.So we’ll skip forward to after the stitching is all done so you can see how this stuff actually dissolves… 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. I use it to stabilize stretchy fabrics when I appliqué on them. It just washes away – leaving no itchy stabilizer behind. 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. Step 3: It is the easiest method for relatively simple and small patterns. While doing so, you must ensure to print the pattern on the stabilizer side and not on the other side.

Step 4: As you are working with wool, try to use cold water and keep it there for around half an hour. I’ve written a lot about it in a lot of different posts, so today I’m bringing all that info together in one handy-dandy place. What is it? TheMagical Embroidery Stuff! This amazing invention has made every part of my crafting life easier and more fun. (I wrote a whole post about its awesomeness here.)

Step 6: Some people freak out when they see the pen color but don’t worry, it won’t be there on your final product. 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. 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.

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? I think this is where most people get confused, because I use both of them extensively when I work with felt.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.
