STABILISING THE EMBROIDERY FABRIC FOR OUTSTANDING QUALITY

Toppings & Speciality Materials

[Translate to Englisch IND:] Toppings and speciality materials

For fabrics whose structures are challenging for embroidery, such as knitwear or terry cloth, an embroidery topping offers a valuable solution. It prevents intricate parts of the design from sinking into the fabric and can easily be washed away with water, leaving no residue on the embroidery.

HOW TO USE STABILISERS FOR BEST RESULTS

In embroidery, a backing fabric is used to stabilise the garment during embroidery, which means it helps keep the fabric in place and permits embroidery exactly as planned in the design. Elastic fabrics in particular might otherwise move and puckering or mismatched stitches can occur. Good backing fabrics are stable, non-stretchy in any direction and they make the embroidery more sustainable, as they protect it throughout the lifetime of the garment and wash and wear cycles. For each type of fabric or embroidery, a specific backing can be found,

as they exist in different strengths, make-ups, colours and for various types of applications. To optimise the upper side of your embroidery try a topping, mainly foils and films. They significantly improve the results on functional fabrics, terry cloth or knitwear as they avoid the stitches sinking into the fabric and support the work of the backing. Or why not use 3D foams to shape 3D embroidery designs on caps, jackets, bags and aprons? Madeira offers you a broad range of stabilisers to suit your individual needs.
