1m Long x 50cm Wide Filmoplast Self Adhesive Embroidery Stabiliser Backing - White
A self -adhesive, clean and easily processed backing material (special non-woven fabric) coated on one side with solvent-free, environmentally-friendly dispersion adhesive.
It is designed for cold setting of wovens and knitwear, to be gentle on embroidery and to enhance the embroidery pattern.
Main uses:
For non-heat bonding of fabrics before embroidering.
For stabilising stretch fabrics, like T-shirts, polo shirts, materials containing elastane, etc.
For needle-sharp pattern outlines and letters, even on stretch materials.
For stabilising delicate fabrics where frame marks are unwanted, e.g. velvet, fleece, or dark fabric types.
For embroidery placements that are difficult to hoop, like trouser and shirt pockets, collars, cuffs, ribbons, etc.
How to use:
1. Hoop FILMOPLAST® with the protective paper facing up.
2. Using scissors or a needle, slightly slit open the protective paper and peel off the paper so the adhesive side is uncovered.
3. Place the fabric on the nonwoven’s adhesive side.
4. Embroider the design.
5. Carefully peel off the embroidered fabric from the adhesive film. The hoop remains in the machine.
6. Cover the hole left in the nonwoven with a matching remnant piece of FILMOPLAST®.
7. Place the next fabric piece to be embroidered on the reference points, position the hoop at the starting point and embroider the design.
8. Embroidery processes can be repeated this way various times after hooping FILMOPLAST® only once.
