Sulky Tender Touch™ Iron-On Backing(04/23/2008)
Tender Touch™ is a lightweight, permanent stabilizer that is ideal to "cover-the-back" of finished computerized embroideries to protect sensitive skin from scratchy stitches. It can also be used as a preparation for all delicate fabrics like silk, satin, lamé, batiste, open weave wovens, and lightweight cottons to help prevent shredding or distortion due to heavy needle penetrations when embroidering.

Tender Touch™ protects the fabric by giving it the needed support while embroidering, without changing the hand or drape of the fabric. It is ideal for baby and child garments, sports apparel, lingerie, spandex and golf shirts because it stretches with the garment.

Another layer of Tender Touch™ can then be applied over the underside of the embroidery to protect sensitive skin from scratchy stitches.

Tender Touch™ is ideal as an iron-on lining in garment construction.

New & Improved - Sulky Heat Away Clear Film™ Stabilizer
Sulky Heat Away Clear Film™ can be used as a topper or stabilizer on all fabrics that can withstand iron temperatures of 260-300 degrees (similar to a cotton setting on most irons). It is perfect for computer-embroidered lace, cutwork, Battenberg lace, free-motion thread lace, and 3-D thread appliqués. It works well on most fabric types. New & Improved Heat-Away Clear Film™ is an excellent option when you do not want residue left on the fabric; when water is not an option for removing a stabilizer; or when tearing could damage the stitching or fabric.

Heat-Away Clear Film™ removes easily by pressing with a hot iron until all the film has melted and formed little balls. Then, you simply brush away the remaining particles.
