New brothread Cut-Away Embroidery Stabiliser Roll 20in x 22.9 m — Medium-Weight Polyester, Permanent Support

New brothread Cut Away Embroidery Stabiliser is a medium-weight, permanent polyester backing sold on a 20" by 25-yard roll that stabilises knit, fleece, denim and other shifting fabrics during and after embroidery.

If you embroider garments or accessories made from stretchy or loose-woven materials, the right stabiliser keeps stitches crisp and designs long-lasting. This New brothread roll provides a durable, skin-friendly polyester foundation that remains attached after sewing to preserve shape and reduce distortion through washing and wear. Sized at 20 inches wide and 25 yards long, the material is easy to trim to fit common hoop sizes and works with both home and commercial machines.

How does this stabiliser hold up after washing and regular wear?

The cut-away backing is designed to stay in place beneath the embroidery, supplying continuous support that helps designs keep their original contours. Because it’s made of high-quality polyester and is non-acidic, it resists breakdown from normal laundering when used as directed. For dense or heavily stitched designs, layering additional sheets can increase durability without bulk.

• Permanently affixes beneath stitches to prevent puckering
• Polyester construction resists degradation from washing
• Use extra layers for very dense embroidery or heavy wear areas
• Helps maintain crisp outlines and reduces fabric distortion

Will this stabiliser work with my hoops and machine setups?

The roll’s 20" width makes it simple to cut custom pieces for most hoop sizes, from small 4"x4" frames up to large and jumbo hoops. Its medium 2.5 oz weight is compatible with typical home and commercial machines for light-to-medium stitch counts; combine layers for higher stitch density. It trims easily so you can size pieces for round, oval, or rectangular hoops.

• 20" width fits 5x12 jumbo, 5x7, 4x4, and other common hoops
• Cut to shape for oval, round, or rectangular frames
• Suitable for many home and industrial embroidery machines
• Layerable for heavier stitch patterns or dense fills

What fabrics and projects are best for this stabiliser?

This cut-away stabiliser excels with fabrics that stretch, move, or fray easily—think knits, fleece, denim and other unstable textiles. It’s a strong option for hoop-based embroidery, appliqué edges, computerized lace work and decorative stitched details where permanent under-structure is needed. It’s also safe for garments that come in contact with skin thanks to its acid- and lead-free polyester makeup.

• Ideal for knits, fleece, denim and unstable fabrics
• Great for hoop embroidery, applique, and decorative stitching
• Non-irritating polyester is suitable for clothing and accessories
• Limits distortion on stretchy or loosely woven materials

How do I choose the right weight and number of layers?

The New brothread stabiliser is medium-weight (about 2.5 oz) and works well for light to medium stitch densities. For designs with very dense fills, heavy lettering or multiple thread layers, add a second or third layer to prevent pull-through and to keep details defined. Test on a fabric scrap first to find the best combination of layers and needle sizes for your specific design.

• Single layer: light to medium stitch density
• Two or more layers: dense fills, heavy lettering, or high-wear items
• Always test on a sample of the project fabric
• Trim cut-away backing after stitching, leaving necessary support
