Have you always wanted to add wonderful images to your art quilts, sewn postcards, clothing, bags and more, but don’t have the drawing skills?
This product is for you! These vintage images are printed onto the amazing Sulky Self-Adhesive, Wash away stabilizer called Sticky Fabri-Solvy, that you can stitch over, then remove by rinsing.
This versatile fabric like product allows you to draw with your machine or by hand stitching, over an image you may not have been able to attempt before. And if you want to add more colour, you can add a layer of fabric under the image to highlight elements of the drawing.
In the images below I have left the wings clear of fabric and only applied stitching over the image. The body had a layer of yellow fabric placed under the solvy, giving it more depth and colour with less stitching required.
- The printed bee on Fabri-Solvy with traced yellow abdomen to be appliqued
- The yellow applique stuck under the solvy image, between the fabri-solvy and the backing paper
- The printed bee together with the applique applied to the fabric project. Fabric Solvy is sticky
- Sewn fabric bee
- Excess solvy carefully removed before rinsing
- Solvy is removed by rinsing in tepid water
- the final bee! Lots of designs to choose from…
Remember:
– If you don’t sew any of the lines… they will wash away. This is perfect if there are elements in the image you do not want to keep.
– If you don’t sew over the applique, it will not be adhered once the solvy is removed.
– You can always add more stitch when you creation is dry!
