    Product Overview

    Gunold Solvy Water Soluble Embroidery Film is a water-soluble film that dissolves when it comes into contact with water or steam.

    The softer and bulkier the fabric, the easier stitches disappear in the material, resulting in unsightly embroideries. With SOLVY every single stitch turns out brilliantly, even intricate patterns with the most detailed embroideries are stitched needle-sharp. The trick is a water-soluble film that is placed on the fabric before embroidering and then washed out without leaving any residues. Even elastic knit and towelling fabrics can be embroidered with ease and precision.

    SOLVY can also be used as fabric backing when both sides of the embroidery are visible – for neat results, e.g. on scarves or towels.

    Applications: For soft pile fabrics where highly-detailed embroideries would disappear/sink into the material. Items where both fabric sides are visible and residues of nonwovens are unwanted.

    Price is per metre x the width of the Solvy film which is 100cm, multiple purchases will be cut in one continuous length e.g. 5 x 1 metre would be cut as one 5 metre piece.
