Wash Away Stabilizer 12"x25yd 1.5 oz Roll package Washable Fabric Backing for Machine & Hand Sewing, Ideal for Fabric
Wash Away Embroidery Stabilizer – 1.5 oz, 12"×25 yd Roll
Get crisp results on delicate or textured fabrics with this wash away embroidery stabilizer. The 1.5 oz/yd² water-soluble, non-woven backing provides temporary support while stitching, then dissolves completely in water for a clean finish—perfect for machine embroidery and hand sewing where a permanent backing is not desired.
Why choose this wash-away
- Water-soluble backing – Rinses away after embroidery, leaving soft, drapey fabric with no crunchy feel.
- Ideal for sheers & lace – Supports freestanding lace (FSL), cutwork, organza, tulle, and other delicate materials.
- Stops stitch sink-in – Doubles as a topping on towels, fleece, velvet, and minky to keep details sharp.
- Production-friendly roll – 12"×25 yd (≈30.5 cm × 22.9 m) fits common hoops; cut only what you need to reduce waste.
- Needle-friendly – Low lint, consistent web for smooth stitching with 75/11–90/14 needles.
- Wide compatibility – Works with Brother, Janome, Singer, Baby Lock, Bernina, Juki, Husqvarna Viking, and more.
How to use
A) As a backing for FSL / sheers
- Hoop one to two layers of wash-away (use two for dense designs or freestanding lace).
- Stitch the design. Do not use steam or excessive heat before rinsing.
- Trim excess, then rinse in cool to warm water until the stabilizer dissolves. Lay flat to dry.
B) As a topping on textured fabrics
- Hoop fabric with the appropriate backing (tear-away or cut-away as needed).
- Place a sheet of wash-away on top and embroider.
- Tear the excess and dab with water to remove remaining film for clean lettering and fine details.
