    Needle Buying Guide
    Backings/Stabilizers

    • Embroidery stabilizers support fabric, preventing tunneling and puckering.

    • Cutaway, tearaway, fusible, water-soluble, specialty options, and more.

    • Most come in 10-yard rolls with color-coded rings for easy identification.

    • Brands include Exquisite, Dime, and more.

      • These kits let you sample our backings and stabilizers and save about 15%. Each kit has four popular rolls in 5-Yard packages. This group also includes a Patch Maker kit and a Quilting Stabilizer kit.

      Cutaway backings offer permanent support to embroidery designs, staying on the garment and being trimmed around the embroidery. They come in various options, including light to heavyweight, No Show, PolyPro, Stretchy Knit, and Jumbo Cuts.

      Tearaway backings provide temporary embroidery support, easily removed after stitching, leaving only the design. Used on towels, scarves, and woven fabrics, options include light, medium (firm and soft), and heavyweight backings; Tear N Wash, Jumbo Cuts, and Piece N Stitch.

      A fusible backing or stabilizer has an adhesive coating that bonds to fabric with heat, providing stability and support to prevent stretching or puckering. Commonly used for delicate or stretchy fabrics during embroidery, our options include Fuse N Stick for applique, Fuse N Tear for lightweight materials, Fuse So Soft for quilting, Fuse No Show for silk and satin, Peel N Stick for small items, Sew N Wash for open weave materials, and Patch Attach for making embroidered patches.

      Water soluble topping enhances embroidery on textured fabrics by preventing stitches from sinking, ensuring clear, crisp designs. It is ideal for high-pile, stretchy, and delicate fabrics, with options like Regular for everyday use, Heavy Duty, Sew N Wash, and Adhesive Sew N Wash.

      Flame Retardant is ideal for children's clothing, bedding, and other applications requiring non-flammability, while Poly Patch Twill is perfect for professional-quality embroidered emblems and patches. Sew N Heat suits non-moisture conductive fabrics like silk and wool, and Stable Stuff Poly forms a soft layer of poly fibers when immersed in water or washed.

      Embroidery Backing Accessories include the Embroiders Compass for selecting the right stabilizer, Embroidery Foam for adding 3D designs, Swatch kits with stabilizers for every fabric, Blue Mylar for sparkling designs, Spray Tent to prevent overspray, and StabilCut dispensers for storing stabilizers. These tools enhance your embroidery projects with ease and precision.
