APRIL NEWS FROM MADEIRA UK
INTRODUCTION
Over the last two months we have been extremely busy exhibiting at Printwear & Promotion, Fashion,
Embroidery & Stitch and most recently Handarbeit & Hobby in Cologne.
Thank you to everyone who visited us. We thoroughly enjoy the shows as it’s a great opportunity to
meet with customers and showcase our range of embroidery threads and ancillaries.
OFFICE NEWS
Our recent warehouse reorganisation was a
mammoth task, Jamie (warehouse manager)
and his team did a fabulous job not only
training on the new forklift and moving the
majority of stock out to make way for the new
shelving but also managing to keep those all
important orders flowing.
Well done to all involved!

HINTS & TIPS FROM
PROFESSOR T.H. READ
CHOOSING THE CORRECT BACKING
Backings are vital for the production of good quality embroidery. It should have no stretch in
order to stabilise the fabric while embroidering. There are four backing groups, within these
groups are different weights which can either be hard or soft.
1. Tear away - one advantage is reduced production time as tearing is faster than cutting.
Our most popular 40g is BAK004W.
2. Cut away - a great choice for embroidering knits and stretchy fabrics that need more
stability. We recommend 051PS89W a soft 80g backing that will help prevent puckering.
3. Heat/Water soluble - ideal for when the embroidered item needs to have no visible
backing. Try Avalon or Madeira ‘B’ film 035AS51B.
4. Stick on - used for embroidering items that are hard to hoop, such as light weight fabrics.
To reduce rippling during the embroidery process, try 051SV57W.
With so many different backings on the market it is always advisable to run tests.
Madeira offers an extensive range of backings to suit all requirements at competitive prices.
