Lasting Support for Professional Embroidery
Stitchcraft Cutaway Embroidery Backing provides permanent support beneath machine-embroidered designs. It helps stabilize fabric during stitching and remains behind the finished embroidery to support the design through repeated wear and washing.
Cutaway backing is especially useful for stretchy, soft, unstable, or frequently washed fabrics that need continued reinforcement after embroidery is complete.
Key Features
- Provides lasting support beneath embroidered designs
- Helps reduce fabric movement, puckering, and distortion
- Remains behind the design after excess backing is trimmed
- Supports clean registration and consistent stitch quality
- Suitable for detailed and higher-density embroidery
- Designed for commercial and home embroidery machines
- Useful for individual projects and production orders
Best for Stretchy and Unstable Fabrics
Cutaway backing is commonly used when the garment itself cannot fully support the embroidered design. Because the backing remains beneath the stitching, it helps the embroidery retain its shape during wear, stretching, and laundering.
Select the backing weight and number of layers according to the fabric, design size, stitch count, and embroidery density.
Ideal For
- Performance apparel
- Knit shirts
- Polo shirts
- Sweatshirts and hoodies
- Stretch fabrics
- Jackets and outerwear
- Uniforms and workwear
- Detailed or high-stitch-count designs
How to Use
Place the backing behind the embroidery area and hoop it with the garment whenever possible. Complete the design using the appropriate needle, thread, and machine settings.
After stitching, carefully trim the excess backing around the design without cutting the garment or embroidery threads. Leave enough backing to continue supporting the finished design.
