Product Overview

Filmoplast Self‑Adhesive Embroidery Backing is a premium tear‑away stabiliser designed for machine embroidery on light‑ to heavy‑weight fabrics. The self‑adhesive surface securely holds your fabric in place without hoop marks, making it ideal for delicate materials, small items, badges, pockets, jersey and stretch fabrics.

The backing tears away cleanly after stitching and leaves no residue on the fabric. Its firm, non‑slip structure prevents distortion during embroidery, ensuring crisp, accurate results even on challenging textiles. Suitable for domestic and professional embroidery machines.

Perfect for:

  • Stabilising stretch fabrics (e.g., T-shirts, polo shirts, elastane blends)
  • Delicate materials prone to hoop marks (e.g., velvet, fleece, dark fabrics)
  • Hard-to-hoop areas (e.g., collars, cuffs, pockets, ribbons, caps)
  • Accurate stitching on small or intricate designs

How to Use:

  • Hoop FILMOPLAST® (printed side up).
  • Score and peel the masking paper to expose the adhesive.
  • Smooth fabric onto the sticky surface and begin embroidery.
  • Tear away FILMOPLAST® after stitching.

Width: 50cm

Sold and priced per ¼ metre, multiple quantities are supplied as a continuous piece.
