Soluble Fabric

I wanted to create a very delicate piece of garment for some of the areas, trying to explore the different textures. I saw this pattern on Pinterest but I have no idea how to create it so this blog post is on my research for soluble fabrics, where I found out the name of the technique used to create that texture.

The technique is through the use of water soluble stabiliser, where you can do embroidery on it and the dissolve it in water and it will disappear, leaving you with just the threads.

I just ordered this on amazon so when it arrives I would probably experiment with it but the effect I want to create might involve the use of machine.
It will give an effect like the image above. If I follow to the instructions from Linda Matthews on her blog post about soluble fabric.

I would love to try out this method if time permits and would update the results over here.
