Cut-away backing provides permanent stability for dense embroidery designs and heavy fabrics. It supports high stitch counts and prevents distortion, making it essential for professional embroidery applications on garments, jackets, and structured items. Marathon cut away is a whole lot softer than the others and performs better.

Tear-away backing is ideal for stable woven fabrics where temporary support is needed. It tears cleanly and easily after embroidery, reducing post-production time while maintaining design accuracy during stitching.

Designed for stretch and performance fabrics, our performance backings offer flexible support that moves with the garment. Perfect for activewear, athletic gear, and compression materials where durability and comfort matter. It’s the crowd-fave stabilizer. Soft, lightweight, and great for satin stitches… an all around winner, really.

Our embroidery toppings help stitches stand out on textured or high-pile fabrics like fleece and terry cloth. They ensure crisp, detailed embroidery by preventing stitches from sinking into the fabric surface. Throw on our premium water soluble topping on difficult embroidery and your stress will just melt-away, literally.
