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.

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

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

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
