| Use 1 tearaway for wovens, 2 for knits. The thinner the fabric, the heavier the stabilizer; the heavier the fabric, the thinner the stabilizer.
Reality
Ahhh, if only it were this simple! However, there are no “rules” for selecting backings. Your choice should be based on fabric stability and the design selected. For example, sweatshirts are thicker than nylon organza but sweatshirts are stretchy and organza is stable. You may only need stabilizer for organza to keep it from slipping through the hoop since it is so thin and slippery. Design size and stitch count and/or density also affect stabilizer choice. A “low impact” design such as redwork or appliqué requires less stabilization than a “high impact” design. The latter includes designs with registration critical details (running stitch outline) and/or designs with high stitch counts, large fills, layers of stitches (lots of shading and/or highlights), or fills running in many varying angles.
Tip: if you are new, use cutaway for everything!

| Choosing a backing is always a pain. It's hard to keep track of which works best for which garment and when you embroider on dozens of different garments, each with a different design, it's near impossible to get it down to an exact science of what to use when. You just have to test it and see what works best so, next time you'll have a better idea of what to do. One thing that I tend to forget is to write down what I used so that I know what to do if the customer re-orders, because otherwise I have to try to remember it, or figure it all out again. |
