Stabilizers

INSPIRA® Tear-A-Way is a stabilizer that is designed to be used as a backing on stable woven fabrics. During the embroidery process the stabilizer is perforated, making it easy to remove. Very little residue is left around the edges. The stabilizer left under the stitches will eventually wash away.

Sizes available:
  • Tear-A-Way – 20” x 25 yards (620112496)
  • Tear-A-Way – 20” x 10 yards (620112396)
  • Tear-A-Way – 12” x 25 yards (620112296)
  • Tear-A-Way – 8” x 25 yards (620112196)
  • Tear-A-Way – (Black) 12” x 25 yards (620113496)
Best for these applications:
  • Embroideries with medium to high stitch counts, built-in decorative stitches, appliqué.
  • Medium to heavy weight woven fabrics, corduroy or other.
INSPIRA® Tear-A-Way Light is a great backing for light to medium weight stable woven fabrics. It is ideal for use with designs with low density and stitch count, such as outline designs or redwork. The light, crisp nature of this stabilizer makes it very easy to remove and ensures that the stitches will not be distorted when the stabilizer is pulled away.  Multiple layers of INSPIRA® Tear-Away Light stabilizer can be used for slightly more dense designs.

Sizes available:
  • Tear-A-Way Light – 20” x 25 yards (620112996)
  • Tear-A-Way Light – 20” x 10 yards (620112896)

INSPIRA® Fast & Easy Tear-A-Way is a temporary stabilizer that can be used as a backing for most woven fabrics. A slightly textured surface helps to grip the fabric and reduce movement during the hooping process. INSPIRA® Fast & Easy Tear-A-Way stabilizer is manufactured from recycled cotton fibers, offering an eco-friendly alternative to traditional tear-a-way products. This stabilizer is very easy to remove and leaves very little fiber residue even when multiple layers are used.

Sizes Available:
  • Fast & Easy Tear-A-Way – 16” x 10 yards (620113196)
  • Fast & Easy Tear-A-Way – 12” x 10 yards (620113096)

 INSPIRA® Light & Tacky Tear-A-Way is a removable stabilizer with a revolutionary “paperless” sticky surface.
