Pfaff Dissolve-A-Way Stabilizer - 12" x 15yds

Pfaff® Dissolve-A-Way Stabilizer – 12" x 15 yds is a versatile, medium-weight water-soluble film that functions beautifully as both a topper and a standalone stabilizer. When used as a topping, it prevents textured fabrics from pushing through your embroidery stitches, resulting in smooth, crisp, and clean designs. As a standalone stabilizer, it's ideal for freestanding lace, delicate appliqués, and embroidery projects done entirely in the hoop. Once stitching is complete, it rinses away completely in warm water—leaving no residue behind and preserving your fabric's natural drape and softness.

Recommended Use:
Perfect for textured fabrics such as terry cloth, velvet, corduroy, fleece, and pique knits, Pfaff® Dissolve-A-Way Stabilizer enhances stitch clarity by preventing your designs from sinking into the fabric. It's also a great solution for uneven surfaces like coarse weaves, decorative ribbons, thick threads, or yarn-based accents. As a freestanding stabilizer, it supports lacework, fine single-layer appliqués, and intricate 3D thread-based designs—providing clean, temporary reinforcement that disappears with a simple rinse.

How to Use as a Topper:

• Method One: Place the stabilizer directly on top of your fabric, hoop both layers together, and stitch as usual.
• Method Two: Hoop the fabric first, then lay the stabilizer on top. Use a basting stitch to secure the topper in place before embroidering.

How to Use as a Standalone Stabilizer:

• Hoop the Stabilizer: Place 1–2 layers of Pfaff® Dissolve-A-Way in your hoop. Gently tighten the hoop without overstretching the film.
• Complete the Embroidery: Ideal for lace, 3D textures, or in-the-hoop appliqué.

Dissolving the Stabilizer:

• Submerge in Warm Water: Soak the finished piece in warm water for several minutes, moving it around to help dissolve the film.
• Repeat as Needed: For denser stitching or multiple layers, you may need to repeat the soak.
• Alternative Removal Methods: Use warm rinsing water, medium to heavy steam, or moisten a sponge to gently blot away stabilizer from specific areas.
• Dry Flat: Lay the embroidered item on a flat, smooth surface until completely dry.

Pfaff® Dissolve-A-Way Stabilizer ensures flawless, high-quality embroidery results—whether you're topping textured materials or crafting elegant freestanding lace. It offers essential support where you need it, and disappears completely when you don't.
