Sulky 8.5x11 stabilizer, 8.5 x 11 12-Pack, White

Really easy and simple to use! This was really adhesive to the sweater and did not budge at all once I put it on. It stayed nicely, and when I rinsed it under warm water, it washed right off! I drew an image in pencil and put this on a dark blue sweater which made the pencil difficult to see, so definitely use a bold color for your design.

One of the best products invented since sliced bread!! Im not sure I would be as obsessed with embroidery if it wasnt for this product. As every embroiderer knows, the pattern transfer is the worst part of any project. No way would I want to transfer a complicated design by having to trace it. Not...for...me. This product lets you print any design from your computer or indirectly from your computers scanner onto the printable sheets. Not once have I had any trouble with the sheets getting stuck in the printer. And then you just stick the design onto your fabric and embroider through it. It really doesnt leave much residue on your needle, perhaps just a hint, but not enough to cause issues. After youre done, just put it in a bowl of water, swish it around, and the adhesive transfer dissolves very quickly. Then you can just put your embroidered fabric face down on towel and press the water out with a dry iron. Viola! It is worth the apx. $1 per sheet you pay. What I do if I have designs that are smaller than 8-1/2x11 is print multiple designs on one sheet by either using a software program (I just copy line art in Word and arrange it) or printing out images on plain paper, cut and tape them to fit to size. Then, once I print one transfer sheet, Ill just cut out and use the one design I want to do and save the others for when Im ready. Love, love, love this stuff!!

Fue mejor de lo que esperaba, es un buen producto y mis bordados no se vieron afectados por el adhesivo

I’ve used several types of pattern transfers and this is by far my fav! It’s so easy to simply print and apply (rather than reverse print and iron on). And it comes away FULLY and EASILY! Will be using this from now on!

I was really skeptical about this, but its perfect! Ive had no problem using it in my printer and it was super easy to wash off! This is perfect for detailed work, especially if you suck at drawing or tracing like I do!

I think this is the greatest thing since sliced bread. Im currently doing Leah Days machine quilting block party. I havent quilted her style before (I really like it) so I needed to have a good copy of her quilting pattern for each block. Hers are really detailed though so after one try, I knew I needed something accurate and this fits the bill. I was slightly off on my seam on one block, so I printed the design on a sheet of the Sulky and cut it apart before laying it down. Its easy to cut, doesnt stick to itself or other things. I thought it was great! I recommended it to a friend who decided it was not transparent enough for her.

It works amazing and it super easy to print on and remove when project is finished

I love to embroider, but I dont enjoy transferring the pattern to the foundation fabric. I had three embroidery books with designs I was just itching to start stitching from--Simply Stitched by Yumiko Higuchi (an English translation of the Japanese Wool Stitch), available at Amazon, and two of Higuchis other books, Embroidery Life to Enjoy in Two Colors and One Color Embroidery and Goods (in Japanese; neither have been translated into English but both are available at Amazon and have awesome embroidery designs in them). I dont know where I came across this Sulky product (an embroidery blog?), but I decided to give it a try, even though the reviews were mixed. Within a week, I had half a dozen projects embroidered (and one embroidered needle book completed to give as a gift)--all thanks to this Sulky product. Here are some tips to get the best out of the product: Two out of three of the sheets that I sent through my printer went through effortlessly, but the third one jammed. Be sure that the corners of the page are in good shape (not bent or separating) before sending it through the printer. I printed a bunch of small projects (needle books, sachets, etc.) that filled the Sulky fabric sheet, then cut out the design I wanted to work on (I cut in between the sheets sticky side and its printed fabric side), leaving the remaining designs on the page until Im ready to use them (I put a piece of freezer paper over the top of the empty space on the page so it wont stick to anything). Then you just stick the design onto your fabric foundation of choice and start stitching. Though the product info says that a needle goes through the sticky Sulky fabric sheet easily and doesnt leave any residue, while this is mostly true, it does take me a little more oomph to get the needle through the layers sometimes (of course, the type of needle and foundation fabric you use will determine how smoothly it goes through as well). I used a variety of threads and flosses (Aurifil wool thread, overdyed/hand-dyed floss, DMC, Appleton crewel wool, etc.), all on various Robert Kaufman linen blends. The first design I did had quite a few French knots on it, and I was nervous about how the Sulky product would dissolve after stitching was completed, but it worked BEAUTIFULLY (even on the wool!). To finish, I used a shallow bowl with lukewarm water, put the embroidered design in it, swished it around, helped remove the fabric stickiness with my fingers, rinsed it in cold water, and hung it up to dry. There was no color bleeding (though you should use colorfast threads to be sure). Another benefit of this product is that when working on smaller projects, I didnt need to use a hoop, because the Sulky sheet acted as a stabilizer. This saved having to use a fabric piece that was big enough to hoop (which means savings in linen/fabric too). Another HUGE selling point for me is that it will be easy to embroider items like scarves and other clothing and home dec--basically, anywhere you can stitch with a needle and thread, which makes this a very versatile product. Ill use this product all the time now. Im so happy to actually be embroidering again; its very gratifying to see some finished pieces and to be looking forward to doing more. I will happily pay the price of this product to avoid hand-transferring designs.

Works really well! 10/10 will KEEP BUYING AGAIN and AGAIN

I’ve recently taken back up embroidery …. after having made the decision to fully embrace “My Old Cat Lady Self”. I’m embroidering cats onto my clothes … and hadn’t found an efficient way to transfer patterns, until I found this product. I love that I can feed it through the photocopier, and then stick it to my clothes. Once I’ve finished the embroidery, the paper just washes away completely, and I’m left with a happy image. Highly recommend this product.
