About New brothread Wash Away - Water Soluble Machine Embroidery Stabilizer Backing & Topping
Overall Feedback:
95% positive
88% liked its long-lasting durability, but 12% found it deteriorated quickly
The wash away stabilizer helped my presser foot glide smoothly as it is not sticky like the cellophane type.
I rinse away the stabilizer and leave enough to stiffen the FSL.
The material is not transparent.
92% found it easy to remove, while 8% had trouble with residue
The removal process of the wash away stabilizer is very easy. It can be removed by spritzing some water, covering it with a paper towel and ironing it.
I have found that the water soluble stabilizer is difficult to remove and requires excessive water soaking and rinsing. It becomes a sticky gooey mess that acts like glue after it dries.
90% found it easy to apply
The material is very light and flexible, making it easy to use as a topping or backing. Needles go through easily, and it can be used for hand or machine. It dissolves away completely without leaving any residue or gooey stuff behind.
The stabilizer is not too stiff and heavy enough for even the thicker tea towels, making it easy to work with.
I used this product to stabilize slippery fabrics for sewing seams, hemming, and placing pockets, appliques, and other hard to handle parts.
If I use Elmers glue stick, the product adheres to fabric and washes out completely.
90% liked its size and thickness, but 10% found it too flimsy
I compared the thickness of the material to a sheet of printer paper and found it to be very light and flexible.
I use a lot of water soluble stabilizer for my lace and freestanding embroidery designs.
90% praised for its stability
I recommend using two layers of stabilizer with the grain going in opposite directions for free-standing lace. I have had no issues with tearing when using two layers.
I used the product to stabilize slippery fabrics for sewing seams, hemming, and placing pockets, appliques, and other hard to handle parts.
