Can one use the Vilene type WSS as topper for towels or does it have to be the clear type? Thanks guys for being here to answer my question.

I used it once it really needs to have a good washing to remove from a towel. with the clear it is just a light misting. But it can be used, I personaly didn't like it.

Thank you. I don't think I will use it when embroidering a gift.

Angie, I have used it - but it does need to be washed after stitching - it holds up really well - and I like to use up some of my scrapes that way, but when giving as a gift - it is harder to do - because of the washing.

I don't mind the washing since I am planning to embroider some towels for myself and have a lots of Vilene scraps. Thanks for your answer

I don't see why not but i have never tried it. My motto is use what you got. Sometimes it works sometimes not but i don't know until I try.

I thought I would ask, since all I ever read was to use the film type WSS. Now since I plan to use them myself I will try it.

Thanks for asking - all I have ever used is the clear film type (Solvy).
