## Description

Sulky Sticky Fabri-Solvy Stabilizer 12/Pkg - 8.5"X11"

Review: This stuff is GENIUS! - I love to embroider, but I don't enjoy transferring the pattern to the foundation fabric. I had three embroidery books with designs I was just itching to start stitching from--"Simply Stitched" by Yumiko Higuchi (an English translation of the Japanese "Wool Stitch"), available at desertcart, and two of Higuchi's other books, "Embroidery Life to Enjoy in Two Colors" and "One Color Embroidery and Goods" (in Japanese; neither have been translated into English but both are available at desertcart and have awesome embroidery designs in them). I don't know where I came across this Sulky product (an embroidery blog?), but I decided to give it a try, even though the reviews were mixed. Within a week, I had half a dozen projects embroidered (and one embroidered needle book completed to give as a gift)--all thanks to this Sulky product. Here are some tips to get the best out of the product: Two out of three of the sheets that I sent through my printer went through effortlessly, but the third one jammed. Be sure that the corners of the page are in good shape (not bent or separating) before sending it through the printer. I printed a bunch of small projects (needle books, sachets, etc.) that filled the Sulky fabric sheet, then cut out the design I wanted to work on (I cut in between the sheet's sticky side and its printed "fabric" side), leaving the remaining designs on the page until I'm ready to use them (I put a piece of freezer paper over the top of the empty space on the page so it won't stick to anything). Then you just stick the design onto your fabric foundation of choice and start stitching. Though the product info says that a needle goes through the sticky Sulky fabric sheet easily and doesn't leave any residue, while this is mostly true, it does take me a little more oomph to get the needle through the layers sometimes (of course, the type of needle and foundation fabric you use will determine how smoothly it goes through as well). I used a variety of threads and flosses (Aurifil wool thread, overdyed/hand-dyed floss, DMC, Appleton crewel wool, etc.), all on various Robert Kaufman linen blends. The first design I did had quite a few French knots on it, and I was nervous about how the Sulky product would dissolve after stitching was completed, but it worked BEAUTIFULLY (even on the wool!). To finish, I used a shallow bowl with lukewarm water, put the embroidered design in it, swished it around, helped remove the "fabric stickiness" with my fingers, rinsed it in cold water, and hung it up to dry. There was no color bleeding (though you should use colorfast threads to be sure). Another benefit of this product is that when working on smaller projects, I didn't need to use a hoop, because the Sulky sheet acted as a stabilizer. This saved having to use a fabric piece that was big enough to hoop (which means savings in linen/fabric too). Another HUGE selling point for me is that it will be easy to embroider items like scarves and other clothing and home dec--basically, anywhere you can stitch with a needle and thread, which makes this a very versatile product. I'll use this product all the time now. I'm so happy to actually be embroidering again; it's very gratifying to see some finished pieces and to be looking forward to doing more. I will happily pay the price of this product to avoid hand-transferring designs.
Review: An essential tool for any Stitchers sewing box! - I was very hesitant to use this product, and avoided it for awhile after seeing some of the negative reviews. I'm so glad I took the chance as I've had nothing but great experiences and amazing projects with the use of sulky. I use this for hand embroidery. This product has taken my stitching projects from good to great! This is very simple to use and makes stitching on terry, knit, cotton, waffle threaded and a myriad of other fabrics even, professional looking and beautiful. It not only stabilizes the fabric but allows your stitches to sit on top of the fabric perfectly. The stitches do not sink into the fabric, your stitches don't pull threads of the fabric up with your stitches (as stitching on terry can do without the proper stabilizer). And my favorite part is that this is a stabilizer that also serves as pattern for your stitching. I use it one of two ways. The 1st way I use it is to hand draw with a regular pencil, whatever design or words it is I want to stitch on the sulky sheet. Or, I print what I want to stitch (pictures or specific font for words or a combination of the two) on the sulky sheet. I take whatever hoop I'm using (some fabrics you don't need a hoop for if the fabric has some firmness - but I hoop most of them) and then place that on top of the sulky sheet that has the design on it. I use the outside of the hoop to trace, with a pencil, the outside rim of my hoop with my design in the middle as it would be if hooped up. This shows where my hoop, at its outer edges will extend. Then I trim the excess sulky sheet around that line, adding an additional two or so inches as the sulky should extend beyond the hoop after you have hooped your project. I prepare my fabric, peel off the back side of the sheet and it sticks to the fabric. I hoop the fabric which now has the sulky stuck to the front, and begin to sew! It is very easy and another benefit, if you're like me, is that the sulky has small little dots evenly spaced on the sheet. Not printed dots, but small little dots, almost like tiny depressions that's part of the sheet makeup. I use those to help ensure my stitches are even and spaced. That's just a byproduct I didn't expect. It helps me keep all my stitches exactly the same size. If you don't need them, it won't hurt your project any as I didn't even realize they were there until my 2nd use of the sheets. After I'm done with my stitching, I un-hoop it and pull up the edges of those excess inches of sulky that had extended around my hoop. I then trim off as much of the excess sulky as possible. I then take a bowl of very hot tap water and place the project in it. I agitate, or stir, lightly for 1-2 minutes and that dissolves whatever sulky is left on the fabric. If it doesn't come all off in the first minute or two, dump your water and start with fresh water and repeat. I've only had to do that once, but I think it was because I didn't trim as much of the excess off as I should have. After I have dissolved the sulky in the bowl of hot water. I rinse my fabric it under the faucet with warm water to ensure I have all of the dissolved agent off of my fabric. And I'm not gentle with it (I'm not beating it on a rock or washing board either, but you needn't be overly ginger). After I have rinsed it thoroughly and squeezed excess water out, I let it air dry. After that, I usually either hand wash it or wash it on a gentle cycle after before giving it as a gift or incorporating it into another project I'm working on. That's it! It really is very simple. There are wonderful instructions included. Now, there have been some comments left on other reviews with experiences I have never had or my fellow stitching sisters who I shared this wonderful find with. The only side effect I've had is that you need to keep your needle sharp. They do tend to dull a bit quicker when using the sulky sheet. I think this is understandable as you are going through two layers instead of one and the sulky feels a little thick when you 1st start using it. I've never had a gummed up needle and I've done over 40 projects with this. What I do is have my needle emery handy, or the purple needle sharpener pad is what I prefer to use, and when I change thread colors, or if the needle feels a little dull - I just sharpen it up. Problem solved. The end product is a beautifully stitched product where your stitches threads/design is on top of your fabric evenly as opposed to swallowed by it or, if using knit or cotton fabrics which stretch, it keeps your fabric stable while simultaneously having your pattern as a map directly on the stabilizing agent. Then when your done stitching, that stabilizer isn't visible on the back. It really is great and I suggest it whole heartedly. Stitchers enjoy this great tool for our sewing box! I'd be happy to respond to any questions if left in the comment section. I was really nervous the first time I used it so I did a small project, a sampler, in order to test it. I'm happy to say it passed with flying cotton flouche and over dyed colors! One last warning - you might just become sulky addicted. I did.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: Can you print on this product with a laser printer?**
A: Yes, you can use this with a laser printer. I apply 3 small pieces of tape to the leading edge of the paper to make sure the backing doesn’t get caught as it moves through the printer.

**Q: Would this be ok for machined applique for quilting?**
A: I wouldn't.  I'm an experienced quilter and work in a quilt shop.  For general machine Applique I would recommend Pellon wonder under (not heavy duty), misty fuse or steam a seam.  It is a little less gummy for your needle and far less expensive.  I use this to transfer hand embroidery designs onto fabric with my printer or copier.  Good product but not right for what you are going to do in my humble opinion.  Have fun!

**Q: I want to draw a design on this. Do I draw on the rough or smooth side?**
A: Draw your design on a piece of printer paper and then copy your design on the Sulky with your printer. Make sure to orient the Sulky so it prints on the rough side then peel the backing off and place it on your fabric. This stuff is amazing! When you finish embroidering your design, the Sulky will dissolve in warm water. I usually use hotter than warm water...it seems to work better. You may need to wash it more than once, but it works really well. I love this stuff! I don't even use a hoop to embroider as it stabilizes the fabric very well.

**Q: Can you see the cross stitch holes through this paper?**
A: I printed the pattern onto the paper then stuck the paper onto my fabric but I was using cotton so counting stitches would have been a pain.  However it is fairly thin so you can probably see through if you need to count stitches.
