Embroidery Stabilizer — Tear Away Backing for Commercial Embroidery

Tear away embroidery stabilizer is the standard backing choice for stable woven fabrics where a permanent backing is not required. This professional-grade backing provides support during embroidery and is cleanly removed afterward — leaving a clean finish without the bulk of cut away backing.

Price: $19.95 per roll

When to Use Tear Away Stabilizer

Tear away is best suited for stable, woven fabrics: denim jackets, canvas bags, woven shirts, stable cotton garments, and other items where the fabric provides adequate structure. After embroidery, the excess stabilizer is simply torn away — faster to process in production than cut away stabilizer.
