"Wash Away"
A water soluble plastic that dissolves when placed in water. It is commonly used when you want to prevent stitches from being buried in plush or heavyweight fabrics when you machine sew. Another use is when the embroider wants to create their own piece of textile fabric. These following steps will explain how to make you own piece of fabric from fabric scraps.
Step 1 Select your scrap fabric, it can be a variety of fabrics from different weights and colours.
Step 2: Place/sandwich the scraps between 2 layers of the "Wash Away" plastic.
Step 3. Secured in place with pins and placed in a hoop ready for free motion machine embroidery.
Step 4. The finished piece, now can be used as an extra embellishment or an actual piece of fabric in one of your quilt designs, after the plastic has been washed away in warm water.
