Poolin Tear Away Stabiliser 12" x 50 yd Roll — 2.0 oz Medium Weight, Embroidery Backing for Woven Fabrics

Poolin Tear Away Stabiliser is a 12" x 50 yd medium-weight, 2.0 oz tear-away backing designed to keep woven and non-stretch fabrics steady during machine embroidery and remove cleanly after stitching.

Whether you run a home embroidery hobby or produce customised patches and garments, the right stabiliser makes the difference between messy stitches and crisp detail. This Poolin 2.0 oz medium-weight tear-away roll provides consistent, moderate support for everyday embroidery on stable fabrics such as cotton, denim, canvas and twill. It comes on a flexible 12" × 50 yd roll so you can cut lengths for hoops of varying sizes and feed multiple machines without wasted seams or awkward joins.

How does this stabiliser improve embroidery results?

The medium-weight fibre composition reinforces fabric under the needle, limiting movement and helping stitches sit flat and even. Because it is formulated to tear away, the stabiliser removes cleanly from the back of your work once the stitching is complete, leaving minimal residue and reducing distortion around the design.

• 2.0 oz medium weight for balanced support without bulk
• Consistent density to prevent needle snagging and skipped stitches
• Tear-away finish for fast cleanup and tidy stitch edges
• Reduces puckering on stable woven fabrics

Which fabrics and projects are best for this tear-away backing?

This stabiliser is optimised for stable, non-stretch fabrics. Use it with woven cotton shirts, denim jackets, canvas bags, twill hats and similar materials where support is needed during machine embroidery but a permanent backing isn’t required.

• Ideal: woven cotton, canvas, denim, twill
• Not ideal: jerseys, knits, lycra or highly stretchy fabrics
• Great for logos, monograms, small to medium decorative designs
• Choose cut-away stabiliser for stretchy fabrics or heavy, long-lasting designs

How do you use the 12" × 50 yd roll efficiently with different hoop sizes?

The roll format lets you measure and trim stabiliser to match hoop dimensions, minimizing seams and allowing continuous production. Cut off slightly larger pieces than the hoop footprint, baste or hoop with the stabiliser under the fabric, embroider, then tear the excess away from around the stitches.

• Cut to fit any hoop up to 12" wide without cross-seams
• Use temporary spray or basting for extra hold on delicate fabrics
• For multi-needle or batch runs, pre-cut strips to speed workflow
• Store roll upright and in a cool, dry area to prevent distortion

What stitch types and machine settings work best with this backing?

The medium weight supports most standard embroidery densities and stabilises satin stitches, fills and small outlines. Use normal needle sizes and tension settings recommended for the fabric; adjust density and pull compensation in your software for dense fills or layered designs.

• Works well with satin stitches, fills and light-to-medium density designs
• Standard embroidery needles (75/11–90/14) typically recommended
• Lower fabric tension or temporary basting helps delicate materials
• Test on a scrap before full production to dial in settings

Who is this for? If you embroider everyday garments, produce personalised items, or create decorative patches on stable woven fabrics, this Poolin 2.0 oz medium-weight tear-away stabiliser roll is a practical, economical choice. It fits home machines and multi-needle equipment, saves time with easy tearing after stitching, and gives reliable support for clean, professional-looking embroidery without adding permanent bulk.
