New Embroidery Backing Available

Saturday 18th of August 2007 12:21:20 AM

For those who use high stitch-count embroidery applications, a new backing developed by Hollingsworth and Vose Company, a US based nonwoven materials company, was recently released. The backing, called Grade 3045, is mostly comprised of cellulose and polyester and was created for applications of 7,500 spi or higher. This new backing promises perforation resistance and protection.

“By enabling a more uniform design and registration, manufacturers and embroiderers can utilize Grade 3045 to gain a competitive advantage over standardised backings and improve productivity,” said Jim Vogt, H&V Director of Sales and Marketing for Industrial Specialties.

H&V developed the backing for a US cap manufacturer, but there are many other uses for those in the embroidery business. “The manufacturer encountered problems such as backing perforation when using multiple layer designs and turned to H&V to create a material that could overcome these challenges. Now, Grade 3045 enables them to produce uniform stitching, even around the edges, with a single ply,” said Vogt.

Used mostly for embroidery on caps, those who embroider on heavy jackets or fleece materials will find the new backing useful as well. “Ideal for manufacturers and embroiderers who use multiple layers on stitch designs, the breakthrough material stabilises stitch designs on large areas with three-dimensional effects, as well as on structured and unstructured caps,” said Vogt.
