Re: [amayausers] Re: backing questionRoland,
I buy precut 20" x 4" 3oz tearaway from CH Holderby out of Seattle and it works
great. You can cut it in half for single backing or fold over and use doubled.
Also, they have 3oz cutaway in 6.5" x 6.5" squares that I use for almost all
of my left chest backing. They have different precut sizes as well as large
rolls which I buy for jacket backs, etc.

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..
