Wash-away stabilizers, used on the back of fabrics, are a type of stabilizer that dissolves completely in water. They provide temporary support during the embroidery or stitching process and are removed by washing. Here are the key aspects of wash-away stabilizers used on the back of fabrics: Water-Soluble: Wash-away stabilizers are made of materials that dissolve in water completely. Common materials include polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) or other water-soluble compounds. Temporary Support**: These stabilizers offer temporary stability during the embroidery or stitching process. They are particularly useful for delicate fabrics or projects where the stabilizer needs to be completely removed. Enhancing Embroidery**: By providing stability during stitching, wash-away stabilizers ensure that embroidery designs come out clean and well defined. They are suitable for a wide range of fabrics, including those with high texture or pile. Easy Removal: Once the stitching is complete, you can remove the stabilizer by rinsing the fabric with water. The stabilizer dissolves and can be gently washed away. Applications: Wash-away stabilizers are often used in projects where the stabilizer needs to be fully removed, such as lacework, free-standing embroidery, or delicate fabrics like lace and sheer materials. In quilting, you might use wash-away stabilizers for specialty projects where complete removal of the stabilizer is desired, ensuring a soft and pliable finish to the quilt. It is especially usef for quilt blocks or designs that involve intricate stitching and lace-like patterns.
