Husqvarna Viking Dissolve-a-Way Stabilizer is a medium-weight, water-soluble film designed for use as both a topping and a stabilizer-only hoop embroidery support. When used as a topper, it prevents the nap of fabrics from poking through embroidery stitches, ensuring a smooth, flat surface for clean, crisp embroidery results. As a standalone stabilizer, it is perfect for free-standing lace, delicate appliqués, and stabilizer-only hoop embroidery projects, providing temporary support while rinsing away completely for a flawless, residue-free finish. Measuring 12” x 15 yards, this stabilizer is an essential tool for achieving precise, high-quality embroidery results, whether used for topping on textured fabrics or as a standalone stabilizer for freestanding embroidery projects.

Recommended Use:
Perfect for terry cloth, velvet, corduroy, fleece, and other textured materials, it enhances stitch clarity and prevents designs from sinking into the fabric. This stabilizer also improves embroidery on uneven surfaces, such as pique knits, coarse weaves, and textured fabrics like ribbons, yarns, thick threads, or woven strips, creating a flatter base for precise stitching. Additionally, Dissolve-A-Way can be used as a standalone stabilizer in the hoop for fine lace embroidery, single-layer appliqué, and intricate 3D thread or yarn-based decorative designs. It provides temporary support while completely washing away for a flawless, residue-free finish.

How to Use as a Topper:

1. Method One Place Dissolve-A-Way on top of the fabric, hoop normally, and embroider.
2. Method Two Hoop the fabric first, then place a piece of Dissolve-A-Way on top. Secure it with a basting stitch before beginning embroidery to keep it in place.

How to Use as a Stabilizer:

1. Hoop the Stabilizer Gently pull the stabilizer edges to tighten and secure in the hoop.
   Be careful not to stretch the film as you tighten.
   For lace, appliqué, or 3D textured embroidery, hoop 1-2 layers of Dissolve-A-Way.
2. Dissolve Remaining Stabilizer
   Submerge in warm water, soaking for several minutes.
   Move the item around continuously to help dissolve the stabilizer.
   Repeat the soaking process as needed until all residue is removed.
3. Alternative Removal Methods
   Rinse thoroughly with warm water.
   Use medium to heavy steam to dissolve any remaining stabilizer.
   Moisten and blot away with a sponge for spot removal.
4. Dry the Item Lay flat on a smooth surface until completely dry.

The Husqvarna Viking Dissolve-a-Way Stabilizer ensures clean, professional-quality embroidery by providing temporary support for textured fabrics while completely washing away for a flawless finish.
