Pam, you could always snip off a small piece and drop it into some cold water to see if it disolves. I don't think that the hot water type will disolve in cold water but I think that cold water type will disolve in both.
Hi Pam
thankyou for your kind comments about the butterfly. I used pure silk thread so its better to use cold soluble backing I bought this from Hobby Crafts. I dont know what Im going to use with the butterfly yet Im keeping them for something spec…
Oh I see Faith ( well think lol!) its done as we would Stumpwork with wires on soluble fabric?
Fantastic these are!!!!! I am wondering what you decided to do with these?
Faith that butterfly is so beautiful, you clever to think of that idea?
I am doing some work for a charity quilt and want to make butterflies and dragonflies. This seems a good idea on soluble fabric? Please can you let me know which stitch you used…

- Hi Faith
Glad I found you. I really like your work!
I'm only just beginning to embellish but have just completed a piece, prompted by reading a very emotive blog(serious subject, though)
I look forward to viewing your future pieces :)
