Embroiderers only need to use one sheet of the 50g backing, explains the supplier, and it is available in white and black, either on a roll or in pre-cut pieces. Cotton Rigid Soft has a rigid grid pattern on one side and a brushed, soft cotton finish on the other side, which is designed to be soft on the skin, adds ETC. “The backing doesn’t stretch, distort or break up during embroidery — you can use it on badge designs with a heavy border, and it won’t perforate and move. “The grid pattern allows the embroidery to be presented perfectly straight, without puckering, and enables even the largest embroidery design to stay on top of the fabric without sinking in.” Marathon Threads: Embroidery Backing Marathon Threads offers embroiderers a full range of tear-away, cut-away and fusible embroidery backings in different weights. Available in both black and white, the backings are available in full rolls, mini rolls and as cut pieces. The company also now offers 50m length mini rolls of both tear-away and cut-away backings in black and white, which come in 35cm, 45cm and 50cm widths.
