What is Ultra Solvy Stabilizer?

Ultra Solvy is a water soluble, temporary stabilizer or transfer agent that is made of a polyvinyl alcohol film it dissolves in water like magic! Ultra Solvy is twice as thick, heavy and strong as Super Solvy and 4 times as thick, heavy and strong as the Original Sulky Solvy! It is non-toxic and resistant to organic materials such as fats, oils, etc. It will dissolve in water with a temperature of anywhere from 32 degrees to 200 degrees in about 5 to 10 minutes. To make Ultra Solvy thicker and heavier still, two or more layers can be fused together by spraying one layer with Sulky KK 2000 and smoothing them together.

When would I use Ultra Solvy Stabilizer?

Ultra Solvy is perfect as a topper on napped fabrics like towels to keep the loops or piles from poking through the stitching, to prevent stitches from getting lost in the fabric, and to enhance the clarity of fine lettering and detail stitching. Make Ultra Solvy into a liquid stabilizer by dissolving 1/4 yard in 8 oz. of water. Brush liquid Ultra Solvy onto flimsy or sheer fabrics that are to be stitched. Do not use it on non-washable fabrics like velvet or silk.

Where would I use Ultra Solvy Stabilizer?

Use it anywhere that dissolving the stabilizer would be preferable to tearing, cutting or heating it away. Both are widely used in the following techniques:

  • Quilting
  • Embroidery
  • Lace Work
  • Buttonholes
  • Thread Sketching
  • Edge Work
  • Charted Needlework Design Patterns
  • Intricate Embroidery Designs on Knitwear
  • Cut Work
  • Monogramming
  • Machine Spun lace (Needlelace)
  • 3-D Applique
  • 3-D Computerized Machine Embroidery
  • Shadow Work
  • Heirloom Serging and Sewing
  • Battenburg Lace
  • Smocking
  • Toweling
  • Hoopless Embroidery
  • Faux Woven Fabric


Why would I use Ultra Solvy Stabilizer instead of another kind of Sulky Stabilizer?

  1. Stitch with a delicate straight stitch or on delicate fabrics without concern that the stitching will be pulled out or distorted when the stabilizers is removed.
  2. Leave no "fuzzy" white edges when removed.
  3. Can be layered together for heavier treatments.
  4. Add no bulk to designs.
  5. Make a liquid stabilizer from scraps left over from other projects...No Waste!
  6. Because it is clear, it is so easy to write, draw or trace onto it with either a permanent-ink marker or a water soluble marker.
  7. One layer of Ultra Solvy is ideal for most projects, like as a topper for holding down the nap on towels or when stitching out computerized embroideries that have a combination of both satin stitching and straight stitching.
  8. For hoopless embroidery, you can also moisten hooped Ultra Solvy with a damp sponge and smooth the fabric over it. Let dry, then embroider. Remove stabilizer.

How would I remove Ultra Solvy?

Removal is easy -- submerge in cool water for 5-10 minutes. Rinse thoroughly. Lay project flat to dry.

How would I use and store Ultra Solvy Stabilizer?

It can be used in a hoop by itself, above the fabric as a topper, under the fabric as a stabilizer, or fused together in layers with Sulky KK 2000 if additional heaviness is desired. Trace or draw a design onto Ultra Solvy, then spray Sulky KK 2000 Temporary Spray Adhesive onto the fabric, and hand press Solvy to the fabric for a pattern to follow when quilting or thread sketching. Store unused portions in a sealed zip-lock bag. Store unused liquid Ultra Solvy in a sealed, marked jar in your refrigerator.
