This is a common thing for home sewers today using the new embroidery-capable sewing machines and water soluble stabilizers. Many home sewing television shows today show this technique. (Martha's Sewing Room, Keep America Sewing, Sewing with Nancy: all on PBS) ```` Morgen Marshall
What was the original method to disintegrate fabric from embroidery, & what chemicals were used? What are the new methods, what fabrics are used, of what composition, & Why new methods are costly?
