(Topping and/or Backing)

top 5 reasons to use solvy

1. High Pile Fabrics

high pile fabrics

Solvy™ is used on top of the fabric allowing more detail to be seen on any intricate design by helping to hold the pile/fabric down during the stitching process.



2. Loose Knit Fabrics

Use Solvy™ to help hold the stitches above the fabric during the embroidery sewout process by preventing the stitches from getting lost in (sinking into) the fabric.



3. No Show Backing (Wash-Away)

4. Creating Patches

Firmly hoop Ultra Solvy™ film without additional stabilizer. Embroider directly onto the film and then punch out the finished embroidery from the Ultra Solvy™. Now you have embroidered patches/emblems with neatly finished edges.
