Stitch-by-Stitch Brilliance - Even on High-Pile Fabrics!
The softer and bulkier the fabric, the easier stitches disappear in the material, resulting in unsightly embroideries. With SOLVY every single stitch turns out brilliantly, and even intricate patterns with most detailed embroideries are stitched needle-sharp. The trick is a water-soluble foil that is placed on the fabric prior to embroidering and then washed out without leaving any residues. Even elastic knit fabrics and terry cloth can be embroidered with ease and precision! SOLVY can also be used as fabric backing when both sides of the embroidery are visible – for neat results, e.g. on scarves or towels.

Main Applications
For soft pile fabrics where highly-detailed embroideries would disappear in the material.
For items where both fabric sides are visible and residues of nonwovens are unwanted.
Processing Recommendations
Place SOLVY on the fabric to be embroidered. We recommend to hoop it together with the material!
After completing the embroidery, tear away SOLVY along the edges of the design.
Dissolve the foil residues in water.
When working with terry cloth, use SOLVY on both fabric sides, if needed, i.e. as topping and backing.
Tip:
If you don’t want to wash the embroidery – wet a remnant piece of STIFFY nonwoven, place it on the embroidery and iron it completely dry. When tearing away the nonwoven, SOLVY will be removed without leaving any traces!
