If you read to the bottom of the first section, it says "AI-generated answer. Please verify critical facts."
Likewise, the AI summary is answering the specific question. That being said ... @LadyAg77 ... glad that your test run worked for you! The proof is in the pudding, as they say!! :) Are you using this for hand embroidery? Did you find it being much different of a feel when you were stitching? I do a lot of embroidery and have been intrigued for awhile. ... I guess I just need to spend the $$$ and give it a try! |
I'm interested in how it works on hand embroidery. I have some and I think I'll try it out. I might work on the dish towels I'm wanting to embroider.

You have some ... I don't! Which is why I keep hesitating to spend the bucks. Plus I don't know where to buy it as there are so few places now that cater to embroidery needs. What is in my mind is that it's something else to stitch through! :) Sure would make life easy when it comes to transferring designs if it works. |

I do a lot of embroidery and have been intrigued for awhile. ... I guess I just need to spend the $$$ and give it a try! I'm using it as a temporary stabilizer to machine piece the non-FPP sections of a block that contains 3 LeMoyne stars. It has been great for this. I believe it also keeps the fabric from fraying as it is being handled. It is really a great help, also, to have my sew lines precisely marked on fabric pieces that won't shift. I just lay the fabric pieces I want to sew together on top of each other, put pins through the combined sewing to line the seams up, and sew away! The result is having seams that begin and end exactly where I want them. I do think it is lighter weight than any level of interfacing, although it definitely holds my fabric pieces without them ever losing their shape (until I wash it all out!). The Sticky Fabric Solvy I'm using was purchased from Amazon. I have recently discovered this product, however, so I haven't actively looked for it elsewhere. |
@LadyAg77 for the explanation and your experience. It's good to learn about other uses than just for the hand embroidery which I was planning. When you washed it away, did it basically just melt away under a running tap? or?
Hope you'll show us some pics of your work-in-progress! BTW when I checked Amazon it was around $30 for 11 sheets. I figured I could stay old school at that price!!! Need to find an IRL store with it, as I am sure that price can be beat!! |

Need to find an IRL store with it, as I am sure that price can be beat!! Yesterday I ordered a new package of 12 sheets of 8 1/2 x 11 Sticky Fabric Solvy for $12.78 plus tax. I didn't see that one today on Amazon, so they may be out right now. There are a lot of Fabri Solvy sizes and shapes, as well as bundles of multiple packages, so you have to pick through the various offers. I put my trial fabric with the printed pattern Solvy on it in a small bowl with water, so I could hopefully see if the ink smeared on the fabric. It just took a couple of minutes and I could see the paper start pulling off the paper all by itself and floating to the top of the bowl- no hand swishing the fabric required! |
@LadyAg77 That seems pretty slick for it to come off so easily.
As for the price ... remember, mine is Amazon Canada. My next thought was Michaels, but none there. After that, it's the smaller independents ... so just a matter of luck, I think. |
