Creating Beautiful Embroidery 165

Stabilizers (Backing)

Backing and topping serve to stabilize and support

the product being embroidered so the stitches can be

sewn with the least amount of interference or

instability. They serve as stabilizers for your

embroidery work. Without the proper type of

stabilizer, the fabric may move too much within the

embroidery frame causing poor alignment of the

embroidery. At times, topping will be required in

order to manage fabrics with a pile-like surface, such

as towels, corduroy and pique knit. There are many

types of backing and toppings with various weights

for the various fabrics that you may be sewing.

There are four types of stabilizers (backing) that can

be used in embroidery: cut-away, tear-away, water

soluble and self-adhesive. In these four types, various

weights, sizes and textures are available. When

selecting the stabilizer type for a particular fabric,

consider the design size in addition to the stitch

count and stitch type used in the design.

Finally, make sure that the stabilizer is not stretched.

Some backings may not stretch vertically or

horizontally but may stretch diagonally. DO NOT

USE THESE TYPES. This type of backing will stretch

during sewing and may cause the design to shift.

1. Polyester mesh cut-away stabilizer works

extremely well with light-colored fabrics since it

prevents a shadow from showing through on the

front after you have trimmed away the excess.

This type of backing is ideal whenever you need

stability with a light and soft touch in your

finished product, for example, with baby

garments.

2. Cut-away stabilizer is excellent for medium- to

heavyweight knits, however it can also be used

on woven material. It will hold a large number of

stitches and with two or three layers can hold a

tremendous amount of stitches. This type of

backing is also available in black for those who

want the inside of their garments to look as good

as the outside. Black stabilizer is very useful on

similarly colored garments of lightweight fabrics.

The black backing is less likely to show through

as compared to white backing.

3. Self-adhesive (peel-and-stick) backing is used on

those difficult-to-hoop fabrics. This backing is

applied (with sticky side up) to the underside of

the frame, enabling your fabric to “stick on” the

exposed surface in the sewing areas. When the

embroidery is finished, the fabric can be

removed, the excess backing can be disposed of

and the process repeated.

4. Tear-away stabilizer can be used on

mediumweight woven fabrics and sturdy fabrics

such as canvas, poplin and denim. This stabilizer

will hold many stitches especially when used in

two or more layers. This type of stabilizer is

made of a non-woven material that enables it to

easily be torn away from the edges of your

embroidery design when it is completed. This

stabilizer is also available in black.

5. Water-soluble stabilizer is useful when you need

to keep the nap or pile, for example, on towels,

from interfering with the placement of stitches.

Fabrics such as terry cloth, corduroy, velvet and

faux fur are examples of materials that have a

nap or pile that can actually penetrate

embroidery stitches as your machine sews. The

result is an unfinished and often sloppy

appearance when fibers of the fabric poke out

between the finished stitches of an embroidery

design. In these situations, water-soluble

stabilizer is used as a topping to hold the fibers of

the fabric flat so the stitches can be placed on top

neatly and accurately. Water-soluble stabilizer is

also used as a backing when stitching lace or

other motifs where the desired result is only the

stitching. This is accomplished with water-

soluble stabilizer, which can easily be pulled off

of the fabric after embroidering is completed and

any remnants can be easily be dissolved with

water. Water-soluble stabilizer is also used as a

backing on towels, where you often need some

stabilization, but any remnants of a formal

backing must not be visible in the finished

product.
