Nope - I have nearly every tear-away and wash-away stabiliser know to man from my days of playing with embroidery lol

The product was part of the demo on Madeira Applique here -

OK I found the demo part - it's at the 13minute mark in the video. I got very choppy images and sound so I hit pause and let the whole thing download, then hit play and it ran well - but still no name for that webbing.

It is definitely a web that on dry iron bonds but on steam will dissolve.

Yeah, I watched that a few days ago and I didn't think I'd ever seen that product. The techinque didn't float my boat either. Sure seemed like a lot of fussing to get the seam allowance turned under. KJ

That episode is from 2003.....I wonder if the stuff is even available any more. It's not listed on her website. KJ

I thought they used water soluble thread to sew the mirror images together, pressed and then applied steam to dissolve the thread. I tried it and the thread just didn't want to dissolve, I had to spray the fabric and then lost the edges I was trying to achieve. I decided that there are easier ways to achieve the needle turn applique look.

I'm not really interested in the overall method - just the web they used starting at minute13 of the video.

This is something you'll see often with embroidery machine products. OESD makes one, sulky makes one. They say wash away, but you just have to dampen them a bit. Maybe if you approach it from an embroidery machine supply angle, you'll have better luck finding a source out your way. HTH

The difference with this one is that it was iron on AND water soluble. I haven't found that one anywhere yet. KJ

I have to confess I haven't seen that episode, nor do I have time to go check it out tonight. This link may give you some good leads.

I'm a little confused on if you want it to iron on and then go away with the iron. I think I'd have to see the episode to understand. Another thing that is often done is just a temp. spray adhesive to hold it in place until you dissolve. But hopefully that link on OESD stabilizers will give you a lead.

I think you almost have to watch the video to understand. But with that said, I don't think there really is much use for that product, which might be why we can't find it when searching. I think at this point, some of us are just curious as to what it is/was. There seem to be other ways to accomplish the task. Wow, I have a lot of stabilizers, but I didn't realize how many I DON'T have after looking at that list. I have a hard enough time remembering to use what I have. I seem to always go for my tear away rather than the more specialized ones. Old habits are hard to break. KJ

Sol-U-Web..... I think here it is a Pellon Product, but do believe that it may be a different brand in different parts of the world. I have seen it in JoAnn's but not sure if I have recently. You might check and see what you can find on the web. I have never used it, but have often thought it might be a good thing to have and use. It is basically like a "WonderUnder" but does wash out. Not sure if it is paper backed.

Thanks Pati.

I was starting to think I had the wrong stuff in mind. I haven't prdered any but I might experiment one day.

I can think of places it could be useful in garment sewing. Plenty of things where it would be good to have thin flowing fabrics shored up for part of the sewing process, and then be able to easily revert them back to thin and flowing.

It is not paper-backed, so it is harder to use than a lot of the fusibles -- more like the old Stitch Witchery.

I like the idea of having the ease of a fusible for applique, but not the stiffness in the completed product.

it's fairly firm and very easy to handle. I've used the non-Plus version for machine embroidery.
