\"How<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

I showed you a while ago about using Sulky Sticky Fabri-Solvy<\/a> for transferring embroidery designs<\/a>. I think it\u2019s a brilliant product for embroidery, but it can also be used on felt.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is the biggest problem with sewing on felt? Getting designs transferred for embroidering on the felt, right?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It super easy to cut out felt, by using freezer paper to stabilize the fabric for accurate cutting<\/a> of small and large pieces. You can even cut your own freezer paper sheets<\/a> to save a lot of money.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But that doesn\u2019t help with the embroidery. Sulky Sticky Fabri-Solvy to the rescue!! Here\u2019s what to do. This works on all kinds of felt.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"How<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Use scraps of Sulky if you have them, for small projects that you\u2019re working on. Trace or draw your embroidery design onto the Sulky.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"How<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Cut out the Sulky around the edge and stick it to the front of your project.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"How<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Stitch through the Sulky and the felt.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"How<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

This works especially well for faces! They\u2019re usually so small and use tiny stitches. This makes it so easy!!<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"How<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

When you\u2019re done stitching, put the pieces into a bowl of water. I like to use cool water because I\u2019m usually working with wool and I don\u2019t want it to felt up anymore!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let it sit for 20-30 minutes. You\u2019ll start seeing the Sulky bits get kind of gummy and float to the top as it dissolves. Note that the pen I used was also water soluble- so far when I\u2019ve seen color in the water it hasn\u2019t made a difference in the end project, so if you see that, don\u2019t freak out.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"How<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

After the 20-30 minutes, rinse with lukewarm or cool water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let the pieces dry. Don\u2019t put them on direct heat if you\u2019re using wool.<\/p>\n\n\n

\n
\"How<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

Lastly, you may want to iron the pieces to make them nice and flat. Again, if you\u2019re using wool, you want to use low heat- I have had pieces felt up smaller than they were supposed to be, so I\u2019m just giving warnings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just air dry, low iron\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n

and then back to sewing your project together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I think using Sulky like this really helps keep a project looking professional. Although, who knows, some day, I may be so good at embroidery that I will be able to not use a guide. That\u2019ll be the day! In the meantime, Sulky.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What\u2019s your favorite way to use Sulky Sticky Fabri-Solvy?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
