I just learned a new tip from Gunold about Solvy (water soluable stabilizer):

If you don't want to wash the embroidery to remove residual Solvy – wet a remnant piece of nonwoven backing and place it on the embroidery – then iron until completely dry. When you tear away the nonwoven, SOLVY will be removed without leaving any Solvy traces.

I've been doing that for ages. I just use an ironing cloth and wet the item I'm doing and press until all the WSS is gone! Love Chris

Mine is a cutaway that isn't poly mesh, but solid.

By "nonwoven backing" do you mean stabilizer? Interfacing? Maybe either one?
