Cut-away backings are permanent embroidery stabilisers that remain on the fabric and keep it stable during and after the embroidery process. They are available in different non-woven qualities as well as a fusible or wash-away backing. To optimally match the backing to your embroidery and the fabric, select a backing in terms of its quality, weight/thickness and usage. In general, a heavy backing is used for stable fabrics and the lighter cut-aways for heavier garments.
