As a topping or a backing — Fabri Solvy works both ways and behaves like cloth rather than film. One roll of 5 m, 25 cm wide — you cut it to hoop size. At 40 g/m² it stays thin enough for the needle to pass easily.
Since nothing remains, the water-soluble option is the choice for work visible from both sides. Hooping follows the usual rule: taut, but without pull. Water-soluble material tears more readily than a stabiliser. If you embroider regularly, keeping one of the common sizes in stock pays off.
What Sulky Fabri Solvy Weiß is suitable for
- a topping for terry and fleece
- monograms on high-pile fabrics
- embroidery visible from both sides
Sewing tips

- Nach dem Sticken in warmem Wasser ausspülen, bis nichts mehr steif ist.
- Das Vlies verträgt die Wärme des Nähmaschinenbetts ohne Verzug.
- Trocken lagern, damit es nicht vorzeitig weich wird.

Frequently asked questions
How do I rinse it out?
Tear off the bulk first, then rinse the design in lukewarm water, working it gently between your fingers. It is done when nothing feels stiff any more.
How do I store it?
Dry and airtight where possible. Humidity turns water-soluble material soft and tacky, and then it can hardly be hooped cleanly. A resealable bag is entirely enough for that.
Does anything stay in the fabric?
No, provided you rinsed thoroughly. A slightly stiff handle straight after drying disappears at the latest when the finished piece is first washed. To be completely sure, rinse a second time in clear water.
How do I dry the design?
Flat and pulled into shape. Free-standing lace is best pinned out, so it dries in the shape it is meant to keep. In a tumble dryer, by contrast, lace loses its shape.
