Stitch-by-Stitch Brilliance - Even on High-Pile Fabrics!

The softer and bulkier the fabric, the easier stitches disappear in the material, resulting in unsightly embroideries. With SOLVY / SOLVY FILM 20 every single stitch turns out brilliantly, and even intricate patterns with most detailed embroideries are stitched needle-sharp. The trick is a water-soluble foil that is placed on the fabric prior to embroidering and then washed out without leaving any residues. Even elastic knit fabrics and terry cloth can be embroidered with ease and precision! SOLVY / SOLVY FILM 20 can also be used as fabric backing when both sides of the embroidery are visible – for neat results, e.g. on scarves or towels.

SOLVY = embossed water soluble film

SOLVY FILM 20 = unembossed water soluble film

Main Applications:

SOLVY / SOLVY FILM 20 are essentially both being used for the same application: they are suitable for preventing stitches from disappearing in soft, voluminous fabrics, e.g. terry cloth, fleece, velvet.
Both films are also suitable to be placed on stretchy fabrics (jersey, sweatware) to achieve a neat embroidery result.
For items where both fabric sides are visible and residues of nonwovens are unwanted e.g. towels, scarfs
In case non-woven residues would shine through very thin fabrics (shirts, blouses), SOLVY / SOLVY FILM 20 will help. After washing out there are no residues

Usage tipps:

SOLVY FILM 20 - thin water-soluble foil -UNEMBOSSED

Place SOLVY / SOLVY FILM 20 on the fabric to be embroidered. We recommend to hoop it together with the fabric!
After completing the embroidery, tear away SOLVY / SOLVY FILM 20 along the edges of the design.
Dissolve the film residues in water.
When working with terry cloth, use SOLVY / SOLVY FILM 20 on both fabric sides, if needed, i.e. as topping and backing.

Note:

If you don’t want to wash the embroidery – wet a remnant piece of STIFFY nonwoven, place it on the embroidery and iron it completely dry. When tearing away the nonwoven, SOLVY / SOLVY FILM 20 will be removed without leaving any residues!

Tipp:

Protect against damp and drying out.
Store in a sealed plastic bag.
