Nothing left behind but the embroidery
Put the finished design in cold water and the stabiliser is gone, with no trace and no trimming. That makes it the choice for free-standing work, where the stitches have no fabric of their own: lace motifs, patches, ornaments and decorative appliqués.
It also solves towels and fleece. Laid on top of the pile, it stops the needle sinking and keeps the stitches crisp, then rinses away. At 43 g/m² it suits light to medium stitch counts, and two layers give denser designs more hold.
Gone in cold water
It dissolves completely and leaves no residue on the work.
Backing or topping
Under the design, on top of it, or both on looped and fluffy fabrics.
Safe on skin
Suitable for garments worn next to the skin, baby clothes included.

How to get the best result
- 1
Use two layers for dense designs
PooLin’s own advice. The extra layer holds and still washes out clean.
- 2
Skip the topping on smooth fabric
Smooth woven cotton or polyester usually needs none. Keep it for pile and loops.
- 3
Rinse free-standing lace well
Change the water once, and leave the piece flat to dry so it keeps its shape.
- 4
Keep the roll dry
Moisture is what makes it work, so store it sealed until you need it.
Embroider towels
Install the hoop and test the tension
What it makes possible
Real embroidery, from PooLin’s own product photos and machine films.
