A great stabilizer for sewing on sheer,
lightweight, and fine fabrics when all traces of stabilizer must be
removed from the fabrics. 12" wide x 8yds long.
BadgeMaster is three times the weight of AquaFilm
backing. It is used for stand-alone lace or for
embroidered items in which only the thread should
remain. BadgeMaster can be washed away under
running water or the item can be placed in a sink
of warm water to soak. Many times, BadgeMaster is
not washed out completely in order to give a
stiff effect to stand-alone laces. If a softer
result in desired, allow the item to soak for a
longer period. BadgeMaster also makes a great
backing stabilizer for projects in which there
can be no show-through.
The reason for using backing is to stabilize the design you are sewing on the garment. This is the foundation of your design and we all know if we don't have a good foundation in any walk of life or project, the whole thing will come out wrong. If you build a skyscraper, you better have a good foundation, this also applies to a large stitch count. The more stitches your design has, the more backing you will need. If you only have a light weight backing, use several layers of backing . Four is not too many. You will have to use some common sense judgment on this. Sometimes multiple layers of backing is better than using one layer of a heavier backing.
