Before you begin your next embroidery project, make sure you have the correct backing material on hand and ready to go. Embroidery backing (sometimes referred to as stabilizer) is a material that acts as the foundation of your entire project. The topping material makes sure your stitches don’t sink into the fabric and disappear.
Somac stock a wide selection of backings in various roll sizes & pre-cut squares for all types of embroidery work.
There are four major types of embroidery stabilisers: Cut Away, Tear Away, Water Soluble, and Heat-Applied (films). Most backings are available in different weights. The heavier the backing, the more stability it usually provides.
