Why you should use Backing Cover Up for your Embroidery

[@drejoicepr]

Hola Boricua!!!! I'm so glad to find your channel!!! And you also speak so clearly that for people like me whose main language is not English (I am Boricua too :)) , I can follow you without any problem..... I am new to embroidery and last night I almost finished a project and then I started to think. that I should have put a stabilizer to give more body to the project. I would like to know if it is correct to put it in once the embroidery is done. Thank you for sharing your knowledge with us. God bless you!!!! I have learned a lot

[@BoricuaSewingCrafts]

You can add cloud cover to cover up the stitches but that won’t give it support. If a design is very dense I usually use more than one sheet of stabilizer. Glad you are enjoying the channel!

Thank you, Jeanette! Great video and lesson. I ordered some from Amazon and it's supposed to arrive today. I never heard of it before you started mentioning it in your videos. It surely does make sense to use it.

[@BoricuaSewingCrafts]

Hi Janice. Yes, this really does make a difference!

[@Marlahanna]

Good information. You always share very helpful tips!

@@BoricuaSewingCrafts I need to read the book

[@sylviah1234]

hello, I'm having good luck on many onesies for my great grandson and bad luck on the Tender Touch from Sulky. I use the sticky peel away stabilizer. After ironing on a pre-washing the tender touch keeps coming loose if not falling off all together in the pre-finished washing. I've tried all kinds of temperatures, even bought the new Panasonic cordless iron..which by the way I love. Please, please help me with this tender touch. I have to send off about 10 onesies I've made real soon, before he grows out of them ;)

[@BoricuaSewingCrafts]

Hi Sylviah. I use 325 degrees and 30 seconds on my heat press when I apply the tender touch to my products.

[@karenbrensinger4573]

Love your videos....updated my se1900 exactly as your video said and it worked perfect....thank you so much for the information you provide...Have a safe and happy thanksgiving!

Can I use thinnest fusing for covering the back of the embroidery

[@BoricuaSewingCrafts]

Awesome!

[@sewlove]

Hi Janette, can you tell me the name of that backing you use on your shirts please. Thank you.

[@BoricuaSewingCrafts]

I use cutaway for shirts.

[@coachprab2379]

thank you so much!

[@BoricuaSewingCrafts]

You're welcome!

[@jessicabullen-smith9186]

thanks for this advice. What is the difference between cover up "material" and backing?

[@BoricuaSewingCrafts]

Hi Jessica. I never heard of cover up "material". I use Tender Touch and Cloud cover to put on top of the back of the embroidery. I iron this on using a heat press. They both are the same thing, it's just different brands.

Hi!! Do you know where can I buy this backing cover? I’m new in this business Your channel is awesome!!

[@BoricuaSewingCrafts]

Hi Jader ! I order them from Amazon. For the white one I use Tender Touch from Sulky. You can do a search for embroidery backing on Amazon. You can buy it in black too. Glad you like my channel!!! I will keep the videos coming!

[@JaderFS]

@@BoricuaSewingCrafts thank you!!!

[@cvonmel7528]

What’s the product name of the backing you used on the back of the sweatshirt? And could that be used on the inside of a Jean jacket that’s bens embroidered?

[@BoricuaSewingCrafts]

Hi Carmen. I have the back topping in the Amazon Storefront. The link is provided in the video description.

[@julierendon1929]

Hi, thank you for this video. I appreciate your explanation. I'm having a hard time with puckering. I hoop my fabric with iron-on interfacing and a stabilizer. Do you recommend a cut-away verses a tearaway? Do you hoop your stabilizer or do you float it? After I'm done embroidering and have removed the cut-away or tear-away, then I apply Cover the Back to the back of my fabric. I still have puckering. I don't know what I am doing wrong. I would love for my embroidery to look like the black t-shirt you made. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you

[@BoricuaSewingCrafts]

Hi Julie. When embroidering clothes you should always use cut away stabilizer. I always hoop the stabilizer and then float the item. Sometimes you will get puckering if the design is very dense and the fabric is thin. In this case I double up on the stabilizer and I also slow down the speed of the machine as well.

[@julierendon1929]

@@BoricuaSewingCrafts Hi, thank you so much for your quick response. I should have been clearer. I embroidered some words on a flour-sack towel. First I washed and then ironed the towel. I ironed Shape-Flex interfacing to the back of the towel. Then I hooped the towel with Wash-n-Gone Stabilizer and floated a tear-away stabilizer. After I wash the towel, I’m concerned the puckering will be worse. Do you have any suggestions? Did I use the right materials? I really appreciate your help. Thank you.

[@LadyVilian]

Hi, I went thru your list but for some reason can't find the product, do you have a direct link to the item for purchase (backing) ?

[@BoricuaSewingCrafts]

It's under the stabilizers section. But here are the links to the backing I use: amzn.to/3Lrv1bn

[@catmariem]

What is the stuff that you use in the inside what is it called

[@BoricuaSewingCrafts]

Embroidery Backing. You can use Tender Touch or Cloud Cover.

[@beautiful_9ightmare704]

So on a design like your sweater.. you leave the backing on alot of the design.. does that prevent it from scrunched up look? Provides more support?

[@BoricuaSewingCrafts]

Hi Beautiful! Yes. The cut away stabilizer provides support for the embroidery. You don't want to remove it. Just cut around it.

[@AlllegroPresto]

Would this type of backing be good for hand embroidery? Thanks!

[@BoricuaSewingCrafts]

Hi Juliana. Yes. This would work for hand embroidery as well.

[@rgviper]

Where did you buy that cover up adhesive?

[@BoricuaSewingCrafts]

It's list in the video description.

[@jimchallender4616]

Jeanette, What needles do you use on you SE1900. My SE1900 is on its way and I have no idea what needles to buy, probably a mix of Sewing and Embroidery needles??

[@BoricuaSewingCrafts]

Hi Jim. I always use Organ Needles. Ball Point size 75/11. Make sure you get the ones with the flat shank. I also recommend that you get pre-wound bobbins. They are really good.

[@kaylawashington6290]

Do you have to sew the backing on? If so how do you keep it from being seen on the front of the shirt?

[@BoricuaSewingCrafts]

Hi Kayla. No you don't sew the backing on. It's iron on.

[@madelinescreations7718]

What machine are you using?

[@BoricuaSewingCrafts]

Hi Madeline. I use the Brother SE1900 and also the Brother PR670e.

Hi, What is the name of the backing after you put the stabilizer?

[@LiquidSnake1988]

Those machine costs a fortune 😔

[@BoricuaSewingCrafts]

Yes agree. They are pricey.
