 Backing
Tear Away
The most popular choice among embroiderers is tear away. Tear away allows for jobs to be finished faster because the backing can be torn from the garment. Tear away eliminates any time-consuming cutting around the garment with scissors.

Cut Away
Cut away backing is most often used when an embroiderer is working with a light or stretchy fabric. This type of backing is sturdier and provides more stability for lighter weight fabrics. Once the design is done, cut away backing must be trimmed with scissors. One must be careful when cutting your finished product as it is very easy to snag or accidentally cut your finished product.

Peel 'N' Stick

Caps
Most backings of this type are tearaways. This backing is used to improve the crispness of lettering and columns. Cap backing also helps keep the frames in place and prevents the registration or alignment from slipping.

Black Backings
These backings are primarily used for dark garments. The use of black backing prevents the backing distraction from the design. Black backings have less show through than a garment with white backing.
