Stabilisers & Backings

Designed to support, or even replace, fabric under the stress of dense and multi-directional machine stitching, stabilizers can be applied in many ways, but are usually used in conjunction with an embroidery hoop to hold fabric as flat and inflexibly as possible. Tear-aways are temporary stabilizers that are easy to remove, but still offer the added stability necessary!

All of the Narrow Tear-Away range is Heavy Tear-Away.

Solvy water soluble stabilizer provides high quality results even on high-pile fabrics! The softer and bulkier the fabric, the easier stitches tend to disappear into the material resulting in unsightly embroideries.

Sticky Backing Tear Away backing with a release paper and pressure sensitive adhesive on one side. Use for hard to hoop and small items such as pockets, socks, cuffs, belts, collars, etc. Prevent hoop burn with fabrics like velour and brushed corduroy.

If fabrics are stretchy, will be laundered frequently, or need to hold up to repeated wear and tear, cut-away stabilizers are the best choice.
