Sulky 409-02 Paper Solvy Water Soluble Fabric Stabilizer, 8-1/2 by 11-Inch, 12 Per Package

The product does its job, it's just not 100% what I was hoping for. I do hand embroidery on darker fabrics (that I can't trace on) so I need something to transfer the image on. After I wash it off with water, it is very hard to get everything off. Not bad enough that I won't use it again, but not a perfect product for what I need.

I bought this to use for embroidery and while I mistakenly thought this was the adhesive sort, it is not but will still work for other embroidery projects. I haven’t used any other brands so I can’t compare to others but it works well enough to continue using and purchase more when I run out.

I use this Solvy mostly for garment sewing, specifically, for sewing garments of thin or lightweight knit fabric. I prefer to sew my knit leggings and shorts, especially athletic wear, with a lightning bolt stitch, then finish the seam on my serger because it makes an indestructible seam. Thin knits have an annoying habit of being sucked down the hole on my sewing machine. Just put a thin strip of solvy under the knit and that eliminates the problem entirely. It tears off easily and any bits that are left wash out later. It's also useful for making rolled hems on the serger. It is also a good washable stabilizer for machine embroidery, although I don't use it as much for that. But it is a lifesaver for sewing cool, lightweight knit garments on the sewing machine!

I have some time on my hands at the moment and wanted to embroider a skirt, but wasn't sure how to transfer the design. After a bit of research, I decided to buy this.Printing it out was easy and attached the paper with safety pins. The paper was a little thicker than I expected. For some reason, I expected the paper to be lighter. Although it didn't restrict the needle from going through, it did wrinkle easily, which could make the lines difficult to see later on.When I was done, I cut away extra paper and ran it under water, which dissolved about 90% of the paper. Paper remained until I washed it in the washing machine. Now, all of it's gone.I will add some photos of the project at various stages at a later date. All in all, it was easy to work with, but could be a little cumbersome while working the project.

I used it to print pictures on to put in melt & pour soap. Did great.

This was more like paper so a little difficult to work with. It ripped easily. The paper wouldn’t rinse off where the ink was behind the embroidery thread. I am going to try one that is more fabric like.

This isn't the STICK on kind, and the reason I got it was simply because the sticky kind is A. Hard to find and B. it doesn't stick forever, this stays on as long as your pins are in! Also, I was able to attach my hoop to the project with no complications at all, AND it doesn't matter what side it prints on, which served as a problem with the sticky kind of Sulky.All in all I love it I bought 2 sets so I could print out BIG productions of my designs for my etsy shop so I can just have them per order. :D

This was my third time going in and just reordering. I used the others up quickly, and decided to buy three packs this time. When they came, I opened them and placed them in my paper sorter. Today I went to print and they are not the self-adhesive kind that I received in the past. I just threw away my money. I loved this product and had linked several groups in social media to the product. Now I feel like a foul and look like a liar.
