Dissolvable Fabric

Dissolvable fabric or water-soluble fabric is traditionally used in commercial machinery embroidery to prevent stitches from sinking into high pile fabrics like towels and fleece. When using dissolvable fabric you need to make sure that you are careful to overlap your stitches before dissolving the fabric to ensure that you don’t end up with a long string of thread.

At Whaleys there are 3 different types of water soluble fabric with 2 which are affected by cold water and one which is used with hot water.
