I find I use 3 oz. on most of what we do-so we bought a ton of it in the
large sheets and cut it down. Tried buying the 'precut' sheets-especially
the ones made for hats....what a mistake-none of the hat hoops will hold
that precut size (not from Melco, from Madeira) I think that is a 2 oz.
cutaway. But it will fit on the slimline hooping clamp perfect...so it won't
go to waste!
the tearaway is great on hats-easier to pull off the excess. But for
clothing next to skin, recommended is cutaway soft.

Roland,
Thanks for the quick repsonse!
Do you use 3 oz. for mostly sweatshirts?
I have the 2 oz. 8 x 8 sheets and I will occassionally double that up on
items.
Backing can be tricky sometimes. Trial & error.

Hi Luann-
we use 3 oz. cutaway on the back-it is softer than tear away.
also a layer of solvy on the front-holds the lettering better for detail. I
also think the solvy tends to let the needles 'slide' easier-we notice a lot
less thread or bobbin breaks. I think our MT is 8 on most of the sweats-7 on
the 6 oz., 10 on the premium 11+ oz-the real 'high loft' sweater jackets.

Good mroning all!
Quick question. I just finished doing set up on a design for a sweatshirt
front.
Finished size is 8 x 9 inches.
Mostly text...1/2 inch tall Athlethic Flair.
Two states...Solid fills about 2 inches high.
What would anyone suggest for backing? Cut away or tear away?
Thanks..
