Cut Away Stabiliser Backing – Black 85gsm, 100cm x 100m

‘Solvy’ is technically a ‘washaway’, as it is a water-soluble material. Solvy differs as it appears plastic and transparent, and has a filmy thin texture. Solvy is the ideal topping for fabric and materials with a pile – towels, polar fleece garments, etc. The softer and bulkier the fabric, the easier stitches tend to disappear into the material resulting in unsightly embroideries – so use Solvy to combat this. It is not ideal for lacemaking, as it is not as thick/stiff, and is likely to tear under the strain.

No Show Cut Away is a specialised low-profile cut away variant, considerably softer and with more sheer than a standard cut away backing. Designed originally to be used specifically on performance-wear garments/materials and also moisture-wicking fabrics, No Show offers a considerably lower threshold of visibility while only sacrificing a small amount of stability when compared to normal cut away. A single piece of No Show will easily handle designs ranging from up to 8,000 stitches — but for anything more, considering using two pieces (and also do so for those especially stretch garments/materials.) If you want low-profile, it has to be No Show!
