Specialty Embroidery Backing & Adhesive Films for Advanced Applications
The Specialty Backing category at Midwest Textiles & Supplies includes performance-focused stabilizers and adhesive films designed for unique embroidery techniques and production needs. These products support chenille embroidery, patch creation, emblem production, heat application, and fully removable backing applications in commercial embroidery environments.
- HPO (Heat Press On) adhesives including NS5 and Welding Film for bonding and emblem application
- Troylon cutaway stabilizer available in plain and HPO versions, commonly used in chenille embroidery
- Badgemaster water soluble film engineered for freestanding embroidery, patches, lace, and cut work
Badgemaster is a heavy-duty, water soluble embroidery film that dissolves completely when rinsed. Approximately four times thicker than standard water soluble topping, it can be hooped independently and stitched directly without traditional fabric backing. It maintains stability through dense stitch counts and repeated needle penetrations, making it ideal for lace-making, heirloom embroidery, cut work, and situations where the backing must fully disappear after production.
