Since Soft´n Sheer Plus stays in the garment, handle counts as much as hold — and that is exactly what it is built for. One roll of 25 m, 50 cm wide — you cut it to hoop size. At 55 g/m² it stays thin enough for the needle to pass easily.
For badges and crests without a base fabric you layer several sheets and stitch straight onto them. Offcuts serve for small designs; only creased pieces have to go, since creases show in the finished work. If you embroider regularly, keeping one of the common sizes in stock pays off.
What Sulky Soft´n Sheer Plus Weiß is suitable for
- machine embroidery on jersey and knits
- t-shirts, polo shirts and sweatshirts
- badges and crests without a base fabric
Sewing tips
- Auf Maschenware das Vlies zusammen mit dem Stoff einspannen, nicht nur unterlegen.
- Nach dem Sticken entlang der Außenkante abschneiden.
- Das Vlies bleibt im Stück — die Farbe deshalb zum Stoff wählen.
- Für T-Shirts, Organza und Netzstoffe ist es dem Ausreißvlies vorzuziehen.
- Bei sehr dehnbaren Stoffen zusätzlich mit Sprühkleber fixieren.

Frequently asked questions
Does the stabiliser stay in the garment?
Yes, that is the point. A cut-away gives the design lasting support and is only trimmed around the embroidery. That is why how it feels matters as much as how it holds.
When do I need two layers?
On very dense designs and on work without a base fabric. Two light layers beat one heavy one there, because the fabric over them drapes more naturally.
Can I use up offcuts?
Yes, for small designs. Only creased pieces go in the bin — creases tension unevenly in the hoop and show in the finished design. For test pieces offcuts are the first choice anyway.
May I iron over it?
From the reverse and at moderate heat, yes. Straight onto the embroidery an iron flattens the stitches; a pressing cloth between keeps the design's relief.
