Can I run it through my printer?

Yes. It is inkjet printer safe, so you can print an embroidery or piecing design directly on it, then stick it to your fabric and stitch.

How do I use it for foundation piecing?

Print or trace the block on the stabilizer, stick fabric to the adhesive side, and piece along the lines. When the quilt is washed, the foundation dissolves, so you do not have to tear out paper from tiny seams.

Roll or sheets: which format should I buy?

This 11" x 2 yard length lets you cut long or odd-sized pieces. If you only print letter-size designs, Pellon 542S Stick-N-Washaway comes as 8-1/2" x 11" sheets.

When is a wash-away better than a tear-away?

When the back of the work will show or the stitching is delicate. Tearing puts stress on stitches; a wash-away dissolves and leaves nothing, so it suits reversible pieces, fine work, and anything you do not want stiffened.

What are the alternatives?

Sulky Sticky Fabri-Solvy is a fabric-like, printable, self-adhesive wash-away on a 12" roll, and our sticky-back wash-away rolls come in 12" and 20" widths for machine embroidery.

Stick-N-Washaway combines a pressure-sensitive adhesive with a water-soluble stabilizer. It washes away without putting any stress on the threadwork and leaves no trace on either side of the project, so it is a good choice for reversible pieces and work where the back shows.

It is ideal for printed design work and custom embroidery, and quilters also use it as a foundation for small block piecing. It is 100% acid-free polyvinyl alcohol, safe in a sewing machine and an inkjet printer, and soluble in water of any temperature. This package is an 11" x 2 yard length.
