Small-area embroidery
Position cuffs, collars, pockets, ribbon and other pieces that are too small to hoop conventionally.
Sulky Filmoplast · Self-adhesive tear-away
Embroider the pieces that are awkward to hoop.
Filmoplast holds your fabric on an adhesive backing, so the fabric itself does not have to be clamped in the hoop. A practical option for small pieces and materials prone to hoop marks.
A wider 50cm roll gives you more room to cut backing for larger embroidery areas.

When to choose Filmoplast
Less pressure on the fabric
Keep suitable velvet, fleece and other mark-prone fabrics out of the hoop clamps while the stabiliser holds them in position.
Peel, position, stitch
The release paper protects the adhesive until you need it. Finger pressure activates the hold; no iron is needed.

How to use it
- Hoop Filmoplast with the grid-lined release paper facing upwards. Carefully score only the paper and peel away the required area.
- Position the fabric on the exposed adhesive and finger-press it into place. Check alignment and stitch a test first.
- Embroider, then gently release the fabric and remove excess tear-away backing without pulling the stitches.
This is standard Filmoplast for light- to medium-weight fabrics, not Filmoplast Strong. Test adhesion on delicate finishes. Dense designs or very stretchy materials may need additional support.
Good to know
Does it wash away?
No. Filmoplast is a tear-away nonwoven backing, not a water-soluble topping. Remove the release paper before stitching and carefully release excess backing afterwards.
Is an iron needed to activate it?
No. The adhesive holds with finger pressure. It is not a permanent fusible web for attaching patches.
