Backing helps to stabilize the fabric and support the stitches. It assures proper registration and evenness of stitching. It also helps prevent slippage of fabric once it is hooped. The presence of backing makes ripping out stitches much easier if necessary. Other ways to stabilize fabric can include spray-on stiffener, water-soluble topping, and fusible backings.
