FAQs
What is Prym Creative Interfacing used for?
It is used as a stabilizer and base for embroidery, appliqué, and other creative textile techniques, providing structure that can be later washed away.
How do I remove the interfacing?
Simply rinse the finished project under clear, cold running water. The interfacing will dissolve and wash away without leaving any residue.
Can I use hot water to remove it faster?
It is recommended to use only cold water. Hot water may cause the interfacing to break down unevenly or leave residue.
What happens to the interfacing after it dissolves?
It completely dissolves into water and washes away, leaving behind only your stitched design or fabric manipulation.
What are the dimensions of the interfacing?
The interfacing measures 90cm in length and 45cm in width.
Is this interfacing suitable for machine embroidery?
Yes, it provides excellent stability for machine embroidery, especially for designs requiring a firm base.
Can I iron this interfacing?
It is not typically ironed. Its purpose is to be stitched onto and then rinsed away. Follow specific project instructions for any heat application, but generally, it is not intended for direct ironing.
Troubleshooting
Interfacing not dissolving completely
Ensure you are using cold water and rinsing thoroughly. Gently massage the fabric to help release any remaining interfacing. Avoid using any detergents during the initial rinse.
Fabric puckering after rinsing
This can sometimes occur if the interfacing was not fully dissolved or if the fabric was handled too roughly during the rinsing process. Try a second gentle rinse and allow to air dry flat.
Interfacing tears easily during handling
Handle the material carefully, especially before stitching. Ensure it is adequately secured with your fabric for the chosen technique, using basting or hooping as needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Cut the interfacing to the desired shape and size. Layer it with your fabric as required by your specific project technique. Stabilize it further by hooping it with the fabric if doing machine embroidery, or by basting it to the fabric layers.
Compatibility: Compatible with most fabrics suitable for embroidery and appliqué. Works well with cottons, linens, and blends. Ensure your sewing machine or embroidery hoop can accommodate the layered material.
Care: After your project is complete and stitched, rinse the interfacing thoroughly under cold running water. Gently agitate the fabric to ensure all interfacing dissolves. Avoid using hot water, as this may affect the integrity of the water-soluble material and potentially leave residue. Allow the fabric to air dry completely.
