About Sulky - 486-12 9-Yard Solvy Water Soluble stabilizer
Overall Feedback:
78% positive
80% liked its long-lasting durability, but 20% found it deteriorated quickly
The stabilizer is sturdy enough to hold up during embroidery and still easy to tear away after washing.
I noticed that the needle had difficulty going through the stabilizer, even when they stabbed really hard. This indicates that the stabilizer may not be durable enough.
The stabilizer may not be durable enough as the needle has difficulty going through it even when I stab really hard.
In warm weather or higher humidity, the product starts to disintegrate when my fingers sweat or there is too much moisture in the air.
After embroidering, most of it rips off fairly easily, but the rest has to be removed with water.
87% found it easy to remove
Little pieces of stabilizer come off on the paper towel and not the iron.
I can easily remove the stabilizer by throwing it in the wash after the embroidery is done.
I was amazed and impressed with how easy it was to remove sewing-stabilizers. I even sprinted to tell my husband.
89% found it easy to apply, while 11% had trouble removing residue
The stabilizer feels different from the Pellon brand, like working with thin and clingy plastic wrap, but it gets the job done.
It is not as easy to use as I would like since it is very thin and clingy.
87% liked its size and thickness, but 13% found it too flimsy
The sewing-stabilizer is expensive and usually measures 21 1/2 inches by 36 inches.
It is difficult to hoop smoothly because of its thin size.
80% praised for its stability
When embroidering on stiff fabric, the machine performs better than when stitching or ironing the Solvy to the fabric.
The stabilizer holds up during embroidery and is easy to tear away after washing.
