Fabri Solvy weighs 40 g/m² and feels like a woven fabric, yet it is fully water-soluble. It shrugs off the warmth of the machine bed, can be hooped on its own and washes out without residue.

Fabri Solvy ist das wasserlösliche Vlies von Sulky mit 40 g/m², das sich anfühlt und verhält wie ein Gewebe. Es ist unempfindlich gegen die Wärme des Maschinenbetts und lässt sich allein einspannen — damit gelingt freistehende Spitzenstickerei. Nach dem Sticken wäscht es sich rückstandslos aus.
Water-soluble films have a drawback: they are slippery, shift in the hoop and react to the warmth building up at the machine bed. Fabri Solvy takes the other route — it behaves like a light woven and can therefore be gripped and hooped with confidence.
That makes it fit for the same jobs as a sturdy film: hoop it alone and stitch directly for free-standing lace designs. It works just as well laid over textured fabrics as a topping, or underneath as a backing, depending on where support is missing.
After stitching it washes out without residue. If you are looking for a printable and additionally self-adhesive version, you will find it in the heavier Sticky Fabri-Solvy.
Because it handles better: it does not slip in the hoop and takes the warmth of the machine bed. On long stitching runs that is a noticeable difference, especially with free-standing designs.
Either works. As a topping it holds down the pile of textured fabrics, as a backing it steadies the cloth from behind. What matters is where the support is missing — above on towelling, below on thin goods.
Yes, it washes out without residue. With dense designs, rinse more thoroughly, because more material sits between the stitches; warm water speeds up the dissolving noticeably.
