Water-soluble stabilizers are often used for machine embroidery, but they are also a great base for
quickly creating beautiful fiber scarves. Tip: Work together with a friend to make these scarves so
you can share your fibers!
You will need:




A mixture of any or all of your favorite yarns, ribbons, and fabric strips. They can be
complementary colors or contrasting colors – whatever strikes your eye!
Two pieces of Wet & Gone Tacky water soluble stabilizer cut to the desired size of your
scarf. You can make the scarf as wide as the Wet & Gone Tacky or as narrow as you like.
Pins
Sewing machine
Instructions:
1. Place 1 piece of Wet & Gone Tacky on your work surface.
2. Lay your fibers along the length of the scarf. The amount you use will depend on how wide
you want your scarf to be. You can lay the fibers in straight rows or let them twist.
3. After all of your fibers are in place, lay the 2nd piece of Wet & Gone Tacky on top. If you
prefer, you can pin the layers together around the edges, if not, just start sewing!
4. Start to stitch your scarf by sewing a grid back and forth the short way, then the long way.
After your grid is formed, add more stitching if you like.
5. After stitching, place the scarf in warm water over night with ½ c. fabric softener. In the
morning, gently rub to remove any remaining stabilizer. Gently wring out excess liquid, then
machine wash in cool water and dry on low heat in the dryer.
6. Be ready for tons of compliments and people asking you, “Where did you get that scarf?”
