Yes Tightly woven knits may need just one
layer of backing. Wide wale bulky knits
may require more topping. Plastic wrap is
preferred on bulky knits because it pre-
vents the wales from poking up through
the stitching after repeated washings.

layers of backing.

vents the terry loops from poking up
through the stitching after repeated wash-
ings.
Vinyl 80/12NP

No Reduce sewing speed. Use the smallest
needle possible for the weight of the vinyl
to avoid forming large holes that could
cause the embroidery to tear out of the
fabric. To avoid hoop marks, hoop the
backing then adhere the vinyl to it with
double-sided tape. Lightweight vinyl’s
may require more backing.
