Which E-Zee Backing & Topping Should I Order?

 

E-Zee TEAR® is a general use temporary backing. You can tear it in any direction and won't need scissors. Use it on heavier, stable fabrics such as denim or twill. Pulling and tearing the backing will not distort the edge of your embroidery, as long as the fabric is sturdy. Once you tear away the backing, there will be no remnants of the backing left around your embroidery.

Reasons for using E-Zee Tear Away

  • Available in many weights
  • Comes in rolls and pre-cut sizes
  • Great for general use
  • No need for scissors
  • Use on heavy, stable fabrics
  • Great on denim or twill
  • Once torn away, no remnants remain
     

 E-Zee Tear Waffle is an extremely stable, soft, perforated Tear Away that tears easily and leaves no residue. This is a great choice for infant and children's wear.
 


E-Zee CUT AWAY® is a soft, permanent stabilizing backing that is ideal for use on knits, sweaters, fleece and any fabric that stretches. It is especially good for use on fabrics that will be worn close to the skin. Cut the excess backing away from the garment as close to the edge of the embroidery as possible. The proper use of Cut Away will prevent your embroidery from pulling, sagging or puckering and will add stability to your garment.

E-Zee TOPPING is for use on top of designs when embroidering on fabrics with texture or nap, like terry cloth or fleece, or to create a raised effect. Topping will prevent stitches from sinking into fabric and dissolves away with water or steam. It is available in clear rolls or pre-cut sizes.

E-Zee AQUA® is used on top of a high profile fabric to hold down its nap, or pile, while embroidering. On sweaters, fleece and other soft knits, it stops the stitches from sinking into the pile and getting lost. It is also recommended when embroidering with a #60 weight thread. Water soluble, E-Zee Aqua® is removed from the completed embroidery design using a spray bottle of water or steam. The result is an embroidered design that "pops!"
