Backing & Topping

Choosing the right backing and topping is one of the most important steps in creating clean, professional embroidery. Backing provides the structure your fabric needs so stitches stay consistent and smooth throughout your design, while topping helps details sit on the surface instead of sinking into the material. When you pair the correct stabilizer with the right topping, your embroidery looks sharper, lasts longer, and stitches out with fewer issues. Once you experience the difference proper materials make, they quickly become a must-have for every project.
