I save my pieces to use as topping for towels. They don't have to be big enough to cover, just put enough pieces on it to cover.

Do a Google search for Solvy Goop Soup and it will give you the link to answers to your question which was posted here on January 26th. Hope this helps.

It can make a wonderful "starch" for all fabrics.
Can be brushed to the area for embroidery or dip the whole fabric and allow to dry. Soft limp fabric does not hold the embroidery stitching as well in the hoop.

I save all pieces and zig zag together with water soluble thread to make pieces large enough to hoop again. Works beautifully and eliminates the waste caused by the large hoops. It's only after I've sewed together two or three times that I finally resort to dissolving and using as a starch.

I would imagine brushing soft styled fabrics with this mixture. I do like 'nhsmith' and put pieces on top of works in progress.

I also put it on anything with a napped pile e.g. minky, fur fabrics. Love Chris
