Our
backings have one advantage over others, they are cut to fit your
hoop. This means less waste. Measure your hoop, then allow
for what makes it comfortable for you to hoop. For example:
If your hoop is 7" wide and you like 1" on either side of your
hoop, you would order a 9" wide backing.
Tearaway is the backing of choice for most
embroiderers. Designs can usually be finished more quickly, safely and
cheaply with a tearaway. A tearaway should be
stable and able to withstand repeated perforations, the backing should
tear easily and cleanly in either direction. This seems obvious but some
embroiderers are still using backings that tear only in one direction.
These products have to be tugged at, leave long strings of fiber and take
some courage to remove. Pulling too hard or too quickly on a tough
tearaway on a delicate long stitch design can needlessly cause
distortions. |
