Collection: Tear Away

Tear away stabilizer is the most popular type of embroidery stabilizer. Designs can normally be completed safely, quickly and more economically compared to using a cut away. All it takes is to cut one expensive garment, the advantage of utilizing a tear away will be quite apparent! Most tear away backings have a density between 1.5 – 3.0 oz. A stable tear away backing should be able to absorb repeated perforations and tear easily and cleanly in all directions. Pulling a tough tear stabilizer too hard or too quickly on a delicate long-stitch design can needlessly cause deformation. Using two light layers pulled off one at a time can help you with avoiding these problems.
