Embroidery Water Soluble 1.1oz - 10" x 110yd Roll (#486)
Lightweight 1.1 oz water-soluble embroidery stabilizer designed to provide temporary support during stitching and dissolve away with water for a clean, backing-free finished design.
Characteristics
Embroidery Water Soluble 1.1oz is a lightweight, water-soluble stabilizer designed to provide temporary support during machine embroidery. It stabilizes the fabric and stitches throughout the embroidery process, then dissolves when exposed to water, leaving little to no visible stabilizer behind.
The 1.1 oz construction provides lightweight support without adding the permanent bulk associated with traditional cut-away or tear-away backings. This makes it an excellent choice for applications where the back of the embroidery may remain visible or where a clean, soft finished appearance is desired.
Water-soluble stabilizer is particularly useful for embroidery on lightweight, sheer, delicate, or open fabrics where conventional backing could show through the material or remain visible around the finished design. It can also be used for applications where complete stabilizer removal is important.
The dissolvable construction makes this stabilizer useful for freestanding lace and other embroidery techniques where the stabilizer serves as the temporary foundation for the stitches. After the design is completed, the stabilizer can be dissolved away with water, leaving the embroidered structure behind.
The 10" wide roll provides a convenient size for a variety of embroidery hoops and projects while allowing operators to cut the exact length required for each job. The generous 110-yard roll is well suited for commercial embroidery shops and other production environments with frequent stabilizer requirements.
For best results, the stabilizer should be selected according to the fabric, design density, stitch count, and desired finished appearance. Always verify that the garment or material can safely be exposed to water before using a water-soluble stabilizer.
