I bought some cutaway "Classic" backing from Allstitch in Baltimore. It has a
weave going through it that looks like a rip stop nylon. I thought it worked
pretty well. Then... after filling a 16" square hoop with text, I put the
fabric on the heat press to get out a few wrinkles and hoop marks. The stuff
puckers with heat! The embroidery looked great before I pressed it. I called
the company and they said not to heat the stuff. Irons, dryers... What the
#/*%??? Their claim was that all polyester backing does this. Has any one had
this problem with heat pressing backing? Is there backing that doesnot do
this? ----- David -
We use the AllStitch backings alot. They work great. If you want to press them,
you can't apply heat directly to the backing - high heat will cause the poly to
melt. It's fine as long as you iron the front of the garment or cover the
backing with something if you want to press the inside of the shirt.
