12667I know one of the South African digitizers advertise them on her web. Perhaps worth wile to inquire. Not sure if it is economical though as postage might be expensive.

I do not know, if any South African Cuties has seen this site. Do not know if they are trustworthy but it might just be good for inquiry too. I see there is an address in Gauteng. http://www.wantitall.co.za/Vilene...
12667I had to read all the replies to figure out why you needed these. Now I understand. What a great idea. I would have never have thought of that. Cuties have such a wealth of knowledge.

I bought one from a while back and did not like the results. I would use these only if I could not find any other stabilizer. I'm glad i just bought one.
13250Send me a PM. I bought a box full a few years ago and could help the Cape Town Cuties with it.
18960I always buy mine at Bernina, Durban North. Hope this helps you.

Since this is to do with embroidery I don't think anyone will be unhappy if we should reply here on Community. It is something we, in South Africa, have little of choice of where to buy these bags so any info will be very helpful to us.
21543Could you not query at your local hospital or hospice for info, or even the chemist??

Hi Cheryl, I will post a pic in the morning. It looks like a clear dustbin bag, but much thicker. Works like a bomb I bought stacks at one of the Elna shops
27028I have 2 sources. Avenue Medical and Texoma Wheelchairs. Texoma bags are sturdier and harder to dissolve (taking boiling if several layers are used for FSL), but then you can use fewer layers. I like using one layer of Ave Med and one of Texoma for FSL
317Do a google search for water soluble laundry bags. Then you can narrow your search among the answers for your area.
