2 oz Tearaway/Washaway - 8" x 8" 250 Sheet Pack

2.0 oz Tearaway/Washaway Backing (Firm/Crisp Hand)
8" x 8" - Bundle - 250 Pieces

Our 2.0 oz Tearaway/Washaway Backing provides strong temporary stabilization with a firm, crisp hand for sharp stitch registration. It tears away like a standard tearaway, and remaining fibers wash out in water for a clean, soft finish—ideal for low- to medium-density designs (up to 15,000 stitches) on stable wovens, linens, and towels.

Key Features

• 2.0 oz tearaway/washaway with a firm/crisp hand
• Tear to remove bulk; wash to clear remaining fibers
• Cleaner finish than standard tearaway; faster than full washaway
• Great on stable wovens and towels/terry (use water-soluble topping on pile)

How to Use & Remove

• Place one layer under fabric and hoop together securely
• Stitch the design
• Tear away excess backing gently in all directions
• Rinse or launder (cool–warm water) to dissolve remaining fibers; air dry or tumble low
• For designs over 15,000 stitches, use two layers cross-grained

Where Not to Use

• Stretchy knits/performance wear needing permanent support — use cutaway
• Very dense or large designs (20,000+ stitches) — use heavier tearaway or cutaway
• Items that won’t be washed/rinsed (removal relies on water)
• Non-colorfast fabrics without pre-testing

Applications

• Linens, napkins, handkerchiefs, table toppers
• Towels/terry (with water-soluble topping)
• Dress shirts and other stable wovens
• Low- to medium-density embroidery (up to 15,000 stitches)
