This guide is for machine embroiderers and creative textile artists seeking a versatile stabilizer that washes away completely. The key benefit is its ability to provide excellent support for intricate designs and enable unique techniques like appliqué and collage, dissolving cleanly without residue. A caveat is that it requires careful handling during the washing-out process to avoid damaging delicate work. SoluFleece Embroidery Backer is a water-soluble stabilizer ideal for all machine embroidery, Crazy Technique, and freehand lace designs.

Hoop a layer of SoluFleece by itself, then embroider your design directly onto it. After stitching, wash away the SoluFleece to reveal your lace-like motif.
No, you must not iron SoluFleece as it will melt and can damage your iron and project. All SoluFleece must be washed out.
SoluFleece dissolves in both cold and warm water. For delicate projects, cool water is often preferred. Avoid hot water.
Yes, it is designed to be suitable for use with almost all fabrics, providing stabilization without affecting the fabric's texture after removal.
The 'pizza technique' involves layering fabric scraps, yarns, or other embellishments between two layers of SoluFleece. You then stitch through all layers, and afterwards, wash away the SoluFleece, leaving a unique, fused collage.
When used and washed correctly, SoluFleece dissolves completely, leaving no residue. Ensure thorough rinsing.
Yes, it's ideal as a sewing aid for mini quilts, especially when used in techniques like the 'pizza technique' or for stabilizing appliqué pieces within a quilt.
Ensure you are using sufficient water (cold or warm, not hot) and agitate gently. For stubborn areas, a longer soak may be necessary. Avoid ironing the area before washing.
Ensure SoluFleece is hooped tautly with the fabric. Consider using a temporary adhesive spray to secure the fabric to the stabilizer for extra stability.
Hand wash carefully, avoiding excessive rubbing or wringing of the embroidered area. Use a stabilizer specifically designed for very fine threads or delicate fabrics if this becomes a recurring issue.
This can happen if the water was too hot or if the SoluFleece was not thoroughly rinsed. Try washing again in cool water and rinsing thoroughly.
