Floriani's Stitch N Wash (Water Soluble Tearaway)
This 1.5 oz tear away
stabilizer is ideal for airy, open work type
embroidery designs on light cottons and linen.
It's unique because it is made up of half
soluble and half non-soluble fibers. By wetting
the design once it is complete the stabilizer is
easily torn away without distorting stitches or
harming the delicate fibers of heirloom quality
fabrics. The design will retain the non-soluble
part of the stabilizer throughout the life of
the garment keeping the embroidery looking
smooth. Any remnants of the stabilizer around
the design will wash out in the laundry. This
product is now available in 8 ½" x 11" sheets
for feeding through a printer for
paper/foundation-piecing designs and templates.
Try the new fusible version of Stitch N Wash
when doing embroidery on loosely woven versions
of the fabrics mentioned above that tend to
shift during the hooping and embroidery process.
By fusing the Stitch N Wash on to the back of
the fabric, it will aid in keeping the fabric
taut. This version also eliminates the need for
basting or messy spray adhesives.
- Easy to remove from around
delicate embroidery or machine
stitching.
- Won't shadow through light
colored fabrics.
- Eliminates countless hours of
"picking" out stabilizer remnants.
- Super stable and will support
about 8,000 stitches if the design is
well-digitized.
To
use Stitch N Wash:
- Hoop one layer of the stabilizer
within the frame with the garment or
fabric. Be sure to use a piece at least
one inch larger than the outer parameter
of the embroidery frame.
- Embroider the design.
*Tip - If
the design is denser than 8,000 stitches
or if it is a poorly digitized design
(too many stitches for designs size),
float an additional layer of Floriani
Stitch N Wash between the hoop and the
bed of the machine for each additional
8,000 stitches for added support!
- Remove the hoop from the machine and
from the garment.
- Wet around the edge of the design
using a sponge, foam paint brush or
envelope sealer.
- Tear away as much of the Stitch N
Wash as possible.
- Stabilizer remnants will wash out in
the laundry with a mild detergent and
agitation.
Water
Soluble Tearaway is made up of both soluble and non-soluble fibers
making it a perfect choice for embroidery on linen, batiste and
delicate cottons. Because it will wash out, you will not have any
shadows behind your design or spend long hours picking out stabilizer!
The non-soluble fibers will stay within the embroidery even after
washing. It is also ideal for heirloom or decorative machine stitching.
Another fun application is to use it in your printer to copy foundation
quilt patterns for easy and accurate paper piecing! (Water
Soluble Tearaway does not dissolve in water alone. It needs to be agitated
with a mild detergent and water or in a washing machine.)
