I'm sticking with Vilene.  Sulky Super Solvy isn't good for freestanding lace at all.  In spite of a new needle and proper tension it got holes in it and created a tangled mess under the plate. I hope I have better luck using it on t-shirts or towels, if not then it's a total waste.  The one star I gave it is for the hope I have that I can use it in other ways.
