Pre-Cut for a Faster Embroidery Workflow

Each sheet measures 12" × 12" (304 × 304 mm), giving you a consistent piece of backing without the measuring, cutting and leftover scraps associated with stabilizer rolls.

The sheets are designed for compatible 5" × 7" and 10" × 10" embroidery hoops. Because the outside dimensions of hoops vary by machine and manufacturer, check the coverage before stitching. The backing should extend approximately 1.2–2" (3–5 cm) beyond the embroidery area on every side.

Support Cleaner, More Consistent Embroidery

Stabilizer creates a temporary foundation underneath the fabric while the machine forms thousands of stitches. SEWTECH 2.0 oz tear-away backing helps keep stable fabrics smooth and controlled, supporting sharper outlines, improved registration and fewer unwanted ripples around the design.

It is a dependable option for many medium-density designs on firmly woven materials. For especially dense or complex embroidery, test the design first and add a second layer if necessary.

Easy Tear-Away Removal

After embroidery, support the stitched area with one hand and gently tear away the excess backing with the other. This removes most of the temporary support while helping protect the shape of the finished design.

If multiple layers were used, remove them one at a time. Work from the outside edge toward the embroidery and avoid pulling directly against the stitches.

Recommended for Stable Woven Fabrics

Tear-away stabilizer works best on firm, non-stretch materials that only require temporary support during stitching.

• Denim, twill and canvas
• Oxford cloth and stable shirting fabrics
• Heavy cotton and firmly woven cotton blends
• Tote bags, canvas bags and backpack panels
• Caps and structured accessories
• Woven jacket panels
• Quilt blocks, appliqué and monogram projects
• Bathrobes, blankets and terry towels
• Stable leather or vinyl projects after sample testing

1. Hoop: Place one stabilizer sheet underneath the fabric. Hoop both layers together, keeping them flat, smooth and taut without stretching the fabric.
2. Embroider: Stitch the design using the appropriate needle, thread and machine settings for your project.
3. Remove: Take the project out of the hoop, support the embroidery and carefully tear away the excess backing.

Helpful Tips for Better Results

• Test the fabric, design and stabilizer combination on a sample first.
• Keep the fabric and backing flat in the hoop without overstretching either layer.
• Use an additional layer when extra support is needed for a denser design.
• Remove multiple backing layers separately rather than tearing them all at once.
• For terry towels or other fabrics with a raised pile, place a suitable water-soluble topping above the fabric to keep stitches from sinking.
• If puckering continues, review hoop tension, digitizing, stitch density and stabilizer choice before adding more backing.
