Stabilisers & Backings Solvy Wash Away Backing – Clear, 30cm x 50m $75.00 inc. GST

‘Solvy’ is technically a ‘washaway’, as it is a water-soluble material. Solvy differs as it appears plastic and transparent, and has a filmy thin texture. Solvy is the ideal topping for fabric and materials with a pile – towels, polar fleece garments, etc. The softer and bulkier the fabric, the easier stitches tend to disappear into the material resulting in unsightly embroideries – so use Solvy to combat this. It is not ideal for lacemaking, as it is not as thick/stiff, and is likely to tear under the strain.

Use this stabiliser for your hard to hoop projects and small items; such as – pockets, socks, cuffs, belts, shirt collars, etc. This backing is also fantastic for preventing ‘hoop-burn’ when working with fabrics like velour and brushed corduroy!

Stabilisers & Backings No Show Cut Away Stabiliser Backing – White, 50cm x 50m $145.00 inc. GST

No Show Cut Away is a specialised low-profile cut away variant, considerably softer and with more sheer than a standard cut away backing. Designed originally to be used specifically on performance-wear garments/materials and also moisture-wicking fabrics, No Show offers a considerably lower threshold of visibility while only sacrificing a small amount of stability when compared to normal cut away. A single piece of No Show will easily handle designs ranging from up to 8,000 stitches — but for anything more, considering using two pieces (and also do so for those especially stretch garments/materials.) If you want low-profile, it has to be No Show!

Stabilisers & Backings Melt Away Backing – Clear, 50cm x 25m $29.95 inc. GST

Melt away backing (sometimes known as the plastic tearaway) provides stability for your embroidering – and when completed, can be dissolved away completely with an applied heat (ironing.) This backing is a great for your more delicate varieties of fabric, such as; organza, lycra, tulle, silk, and lightweight cottons or polyesters, rayons, etc. In the same vein as Solvy, this glossy plastic product is designed to be completely removed in the final phases of embroidery (with Solvy, this is achieved with water – with melt away, it’s heat!) and as such, this product can be used in the same capacity as a topping for towelling work.
