Stockists of Water Soluble Stabiliser

Whats so special about Water Soluble Stabiliser?

It washes away in warm water completely!!   

For our Large Applique Designs (placemats, Coasters, Large Applique Animals) you don't want any stabiliser showing on the edges!!

We recommend Water Soluble Stabiliser WSS - once your project is completed, you run a Q-Tip with warm water around the edges, and there is NO trace of stabiliser left on the edges, or, chuck your completed design in the wash, and the Stabiliser will be washed out of the entire design.  

There are two types of Water Soluble Stabilisers

Clear Plastic Look Solvy 'Topper'	Fabric Type Water Soluble Stabiliser

The Solvy sample on the left is used as a wash away topper when you embroider on towels or fur - it keeps the nap of the fabric down to ensure a great stitch-out - WE DON'T USE THIS TYPE FOR OUR LARGE APPLIQUES - it is not strong enough.

The fabric type WSS is what we recommend - it is stronger, and will hold up well for our Satin Stitch edges - we do suggest TWO LAYERS 

As with many products in the Embroidery World, there are different names for each product between Countries and Companies.   The links below have been sent to us by our Kreative kiwi Group.

Kreative Kiwi has no affiliation to any of these Companies.  

I live in New Zealand, and I purchase my Water Soluble Stabiliser from Echidna

Mary and Helen both purchase from Walmart 

Walmart is another excellent store for WSS by Pellon Wash-n-gone. I order by the bolt, when possible. The bolt is 20"X25 yards. The price is a bit less than Metro.
