Review on 🧡 Sulky - 486-12 9-Yard Solvy Water Soluble Stabilizer, 12x9.5 yd, White: High-Quality Solution for Embroidery and More by Angela Rodriguez

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Not suitable for hand embroidery

I saw some of Sulky's recommendations for embroidering detailed designs and decided to give it a try. The material was very similar to saran wrap - stuck to itself, difficult to lay flat, could only be written on with permanent marker, etc - but I was kind of expecting it. When it came time to embroider there was no adhesion to the fabric. I tried pinning it but it was difficult to pin it completely flat and it was too loose to show exactly what I was trying to stitch. I tried squeezing it into the tire but the material stretched too much and ripped in a few places ruining my design. This material may be suitable for machine embroidery or other purposes, but when it comes to hand embroidery, I suggest something else. Speaking of which, if anyone would like to purchase an entire roll of Tangling without the 5" x 5" square, please let me know.

Pros
  • Ideal if you don't want the stabilizer to be visible from above or below
Cons
  • Damaged
