Self-Adhesive, Printable, Fabric-Like, Wash Away Stabiliser
SULKY® STICKY FABRI SOLVY combines the convenience of pressure-sensitive adhesive with the flexibility of a water soluble stabilizer. It is a printable, temporary self-adhesive, fabric-like stabilizer that is ideal for getting your hand embroidery, punch needle, cross stitch, quilting, or other patterns onto your project fabric. Sticky Fabri-Solvy can also be used as a topper or backing, which looks, feels, and behaves like fabric during embroidery - or when used as a design pattern. Perfect for any reversible project, as when its rinsed away, no stabilizer remains on either side! All Sulky Stabilizers are acid and lead free.

Note: Since printers and inks vary, always do a test sample to verify that your ink does not bleed, and that it washes out completely along with the Sticky Fabri-Solvy. If the ink in your printer or copy machine bleeds, use a different machine. Some copy machines or printers may prefer that the Sticky Fabri-Solvy is fed into it one sheet at a time.

Tips for using SULKY® STICKY FABRI-SOLVY
- Print on
Print onto the fabric-like side of the Sticky Fabri-Solvy. Therefore, when inserting it, make sure that it is placed in the correct direction in the paper tray.
Use a light (draft) setting on your printer or copy machine to print your designs onto the Sticky Fabri-Solvy (Print the design in gray instead of deep black), then peel off the release sheet and smooth the printed design in place for hand embroidery, appliqué, needlepunch, machine or hand quilting or any other machine or hand-work that requires a design or pattern to follow.

Hand trace the design onto the Sticky Fabri-Solvy using a permanent-ink marker or water-soluble marker so that you can stitch through the Sticky Fabri-Solvy and have a wash-away pattern to follow on your fabric. Remove the release sheet and smooth the printed or traced stabilizer, sticky side down, onto the right side of the fabric. Great for transferring a design for machine quilting, monogramming, thread sketching, or as a template for computerized machine embroidery; as well as for all hand-work designs.
BONUS-TIP: .
Sticky Fabri-Solvy will help you stitch better because it has a slight grid pattern, which you can use to space your stitches more evenly. You can also move or reposition your subject if you don't like the original placement.
Fabric manufacturers use different finishes and/or sizings, some of which may prevent Sticky Fabri-Solvy from sticking to them. If this occurs, soak your fabric first to remove the finish and/or sizing; dry and use. - Use as a Stabilizer
Sticky Fabri-Solvy under and/or on top of the fabric or design area to be stitched for buttonholes, decorative stitching on edges, thread and yarn scarves, and reversible computerized embroidery such as towels, scarves, and sheer fabrics (or any time you want both sides to look as pretty as the front).
For small items that can’t be hooped for embroidery (like socks), hoop the Sticky Fabri-Solvy, (with the release sheet side up), scoring the release sheet and removing it from inside the hoop, then smoothing the small item over the sticky side of the stabilizer that is exposed inside the hoop.
When the fabric needs a topper to keep the stitches from becoming embedded into the knit or nap, you can economically cut the Sticky Fabri-Solvy just slightly larger than the design area and smooth in place over the fabric. - Fabric and collage scarves
For fabric and collage scarves, build your scarf on one layer, positioning the yarns, threads, and/or bits and pieces on it. Cover with a second layer to allow the presser foot to smoothly glide over your collage without catching on yarns. Or, if more visibility is desired, cover with a layer of regular, lightweight SULKY® SOLVY. (Be sure to cover any exposed adhesive before stitching over it.) - Removal is Easy
Once stitching is completed. Carefully cut away the excess Sticky Fabri-Solvy.
Any Sticky Fabri-Solvy that remains can be removed by submerging and agitating the project in warm water for 2-3 minutes
OR remove the stabilizer using running water .
Rinse thoroughly. Air dry on a towel or in a dryer, if your project allows. If any stiffness remains after it is dry, simply repeat the process.
