Description Wash-Away water soluble basting thread helps you avoid the frustration of removing basting stitches because it disappears with water or steam from an iron or damp press. It is a time saver for all kinds of basting, including basting zippers, hems, gathers, pleats, set-in sleeves, positioning pockets, fitting and quilting and appliqué. Important: Wash-Away dissolves in water, but not in dry cleaning solution. Store in a dry place such as a zip-lock bag or plastic wrap. Do not handle with wet hands.
