Backing adds stability to insure proper registration and evenness of stitching. Backing also helps prevent slippage of fabric once it is hooped. The presence of backing makes ripping out much easier. Use a lightweight tear-away backing for towels, sheets, hats, vinyl and leather. Use a double layer of light to medium cut-away backing for knits, sweatshirts, sweaters, Lycra, and Spandex fabrics. For more stability, a piece of tear-away can be slid under the hoop at the machine. Please do not use newspaper or any type of paper for backing.
