This embroidery stabilizer is a tearaway backing with a pressure sensitive coating and a release liner. Peel and Stick backing has three general uses: Hard-to-hoop applications such as shirt collars, cuffs, etc; the stabilization of high stretch fabrics such as bicycle shorts, promotional sweatshirts, etc; and the elimination of hoop marks that can occur with certain problem materials, such as brushed denim and suede. A good Peel and Stick embroidery stabilizer should not have a gummy adhesive. The embroidery backing is generally used by hooping the stabilizer with the release paper facing upward. An X pattern is lightly cut in the hooped center such that the release paper is sliced through but not the backing. Enough of the release paper is peeled back so the portion of the garment to be embroidered can be stuck to the embroidery stabilizer. Every custom shop should have a small roll of this peel and stick embroidery backing.
