Larger embroidery areas
Cut backing to cover the hoop and leave room for a secure grip. Check your actual hoop dimensions rather than relying on its advertised embroidery field.
Madeira Cotton Soft · Soft tear-away backing
More width for your embroidery layout.
The wider Cotton Soft roll gives you more room to prepare backing for larger embroidery areas. Its soft cotton nonwoven supports suitable fabric during stitching, and the surplus tears away when the work is complete.
One white roll measuring 50cm wide by 10m long. The wider format is useful when a narrower backing cannot cover the hoop securely.

Where it works best
Decorative sewing
Support suitable machine appliqué, buttonholes, monograms and decorative stitch patterns. The same roll can be cut down for smaller areas when needed.
Planned cutting layouts
Arrange backing pieces across the 50cm width to suit the projects you are preparing. Keep useful offcuts for test stitching or smaller embroidery areas.

How to use it
- Measure the required backing area, including the hoop’s gripping allowance, and cut a piece from the roll. Place it underneath the fabric.
- Secure backing and fabric together without stretching. Make a test stitch-out and assess whether the chosen design needs an additional layer or a different stabiliser.
- When sewing is finished, support the stitches and gently tear off the excess. Store the unused backing protected from dirt and moisture.
The wider roll changes the available cutting area, not the type of support. Cotton Soft remains a tear-away; choose cut-away backing for projects needing permanent stabilisation.
Good to know
Is this heavier than the 30cm roll?
No. Both listed Cotton Soft white formats are 50 g/m². This version is wider, while the roll length remains 10m.
Will it fit every large hoop?
Not necessarily. Compare the 50cm width with the frame’s full dimensions and required gripping allowance, then cut a suitable length from the roll.
