The Husqvarna Viking Aqua Magic Stabilizer is a soft, fabric-like water-soluble stabilizer that dissolves completely in water, leaving no residue behind. Ideal for projects where 100% of the stabilizer needs to be removed, it ensures a soft, pliable finish without adding stiffness to the fabric. Perfect for free-standing lace, delicate embroidery, appliqué, and heirloom sewing, Aqua Magic provides temporary support during stitching and rinses away effortlessly, preserving the natural drape of your fabric. Measuring 15" x 10 yards, this versatile, water-soluble stabilizer is essential for achieving clean, professional-quality embroidery results without any remaining stabilizer traces.
Recommended Use:
For decorative all-yarn stitched scarves, this water-soluble adhesive securely holds ribbons, yarns, fabrics, and other creative materials in place during embroidery. It serves as an excellent alternative to sticky stabilizers, making it ideal for small items that don't fit in a hoop or for hoop-less embroidery, with the added benefit of dissolving completely after washing—leaving no trace behind. Perfect for light to medium-weight woven and knit fabrics, including slinky knits, batiste, organza, organdy, chiffon, tulle, netting, towels, terry cloth, minky, and polar fleece.
