Midwest Embroidery Supplies carries over 20 selections of quality backings from Hollingsworth & Vose. These quality products include tearaway, cutaway and specialty stabilizers for any application possibly needed in the embroidery business. A huge selection of die cut sizes is also available.

 

Tearaway is needed to provide extra stabilization for most fabrics. To perform well as a backing, a tearaway should be stable, able to withstand repeated perforations, and should tear easily and cleanly in either direction. The tearaway / washaway products tear easily and what is left of these backings is removed when laundered by the consumer.

 

Available tearaway style numbers are:

 

Tearaway Backing    1525    1525Blk    1825    1885

Tearaway / Washaway    1720    2020    2520

 

Cutaway is needed to provide a stable base for delicate and stretchy fabrics both during the stitching process and afterward. A good cutaway not only helps maintain the crispness of a design’s details during this process, but retain the design’s shape after repeated washings.

 

Available cutaway style numbers are:

 

Soft -n- Stable Cutaway    8815    8820    8825    8830    8835

Cutaway Backing    9915    9920    9925    9925 Blk    9930    9935

 

Listed below you will find suggested products for many different applications. It is a good place to start. It is meant to serve only as a guideline. The backing that you use should be based upon the weight of the fabric and density of the stitch count.
