Sulky Ultra Solvy 408-12 Wash-Away Lace Support

Ultra Solvy is the heavier wash-away support in this selection, not the lightweight Solvy topping used over towel pile. The 408-12 roll measures 12 inches by 8 yards. Sulky describes it as extra-heavy water-soluble support for computerized lace embroidery and decorative stitch sewing.[1]

Its useful role is a project that needs substantial temporary support but should not retain ordinary backing after finishing. Start with a design specifically prepared for the intended lace technique and follow its instructions. A material described as lace support does not make an ordinary filled embroidery file freestanding. Check the design dimensions separately against the selected machine and hoop; the width of this roll is only a consumable dimension.[1]

Plan the wash-away step before stitching. Every material used in the project must be able to tolerate water, and the finished sample should be judged after the prescribed removal and drying process. Sulky distinguishes this product from Original Solvy by its greater firmness and thickness. That distinction is a reason to choose deliberately, not a universal claim that heavier support gives better results. No physical stitch-out or wash test was performed for this catalog.[1]
