Specialty Backings

Change backings, not designs. Meet our specialty backings for those special designs. Handle specialty embroidery needs with precision using our range of wash-away, heat-away, and adhesive stabilizers. Whether you're working with lace, delicate fabrics, or custom patches, our specialty toppings offer the flexibility and support you need.

Wash Away

Wash-away stabilizers completely dissolve in cold water, leaving behind clean, residue-free embroidery. Ideal for sheer fabrics, freestanding lace, and any application where backing should not be visible.

Heat Away

Heat-away stabilizers melt away with a hot iron, providing clean removal for fabrics that cannot be washed. Use it on specialty materials, detailed designs, or where water-based removal isn't possible.

Peel & Stick

Peel & Stick backing features a pressure-sensitive adhesive for easy hooping and repositioning. It's great for slippery or small garments and hard-to-hoop items like caps and sleeves.
