My newest red work project is, Snow Happy by Pearl Louise Krush. \u00a0The pattern was in the Holiday 2013 issue of The Quilter Magazine.<\/p>\n

I am trying something new with this project–Sticky Fabri-Solvy from Sulky. \u00a0This product is a self-adhesive, fabric-like, water soluble stabilizer.<\/p>\n

I ordered my product from Bird Brain Designs a while ago and I was anxious to try the technique described on their site. (http:\/\/www.birdbraindesigns.net\/sticky-fabri-solvy). \u00a0From the Bird Brain Designs site:<\/p>\n

Stitch as usual following the design on the printedSticky\u00a0Fabri-Solvy.\u00a0\u00a0EASY!\u00a0 We tried it for RedWork embroidery on muslin and on wool for Needle Felting and Embroidery.\u00a0 When your stitching is completed, cut away excess\u00a0Sticky\u00a0Fabri-Solvy\u00a0and soak the project in warm water to melt the remaining film away…..NEAT.<\/p>\n

\n<\/strong>This image is my project. \u00a0The block on the right is my Kona White fabric with the design photocopied to the Sticky Fabri-Solvy product. \u00a0The block on the left has been stitched. \u00a0It is a bit wrinkly now as I found the stabilizer added enough body to the fabric that I didn’t need to hoop my project for stitching. \u00a0It does mean however, that my project gets a bit wrinkly. \u00a0\ud83d\ude42 \u00a0Removing the Sulky product from my finished project was easy. \u00a0A little water in the sink and a bit of agitation and it was all gone!<\/p>\n

I used DMC’s perle cotton No. 8 in colour 498. \u00a0I love the perle cotton–no more separating floss threads–you can use it right off the ball. \u00a0When I was in AZ, I found a new perle cotton thread by Presencia (No. 16). \u00a0This product is finer than the DMC that I used in this project. \u00a0I am planning to use it in a more detailed design where a thinner thread than the DMC perle cotton would be more appropriate.<\/p>\n

For reference, I found the following video on You Tube that describes how to use the Sulky Fabri-Solvy product: \u00a0“How to Transfer and Stabilize an Embroidery Pattern”.<\/p>\n
