Solvy is a water soluble film used as an embroidery topping designed to create a smooth surface that provides clear and clean embroidery. The ideal topping to use on terry cloth, knits, fleece, and many textured fabrics. Stitches will not sink into the fabric, resulting in a crisp definition and detail to your work.
Solvy water soluble embroidery topping helps you as an embroiderer get the results you’re looking for without compromise. It is the perfect solution for detailed embroidery on high-pile fabrics, such as knitwear, terry cloth bathrobes, fleece and towels.
How To Use Solvy
Place Solvy™ on top of framed fabric.
After the embroidery process is complete, tear-away the larger areas of Solvy inside and outside of the design.
Dissolve Solvy by lightly misting the area with water. Any additional excess will disappear and be removed from the fabric during the first washing.
If the area is too large to be washed, any excess can be removed with a dampened sponge or cloth.
Please note that embroidery should not be left damp or wet for any longer than a few minutes.
