Solvy is a water soluble substance used as a temporary base for stitched thread designs. It acts as a stabiliser until the threads are linked together with enough stitching to support themselves and hold the design firmly. The Solvy is then rinsed away with water leaving only the thread which forms the design. It is important that threads are well linked and attached to the outer edge of the design so it does not fall apart when Solvy is rinsed away.
