What it is: A heavyweight 2.8oz tear-away embroidery backing made specifically for cap and hat embroidery. Pre-cut to a cap-shaped 4 x 8 inch, 200 sheets per pack. Made by Doublelin, an embroidery machine manufacturer since 1989.
Why heavyweight for caps. Caps are curved and structured, so they pull harder on the backing than a flat shirt. A light backing lets the fabric flag and the design pucker. The extra-firm 2.8oz weight gives the brim and front panel the support they need, so logos and monograms stitch out crisp and stay flat.
Cap-shaped and ready to use. Each sheet is pre-cut to a narrow 4 x 8 inch that follows the shape of cap hoops and cap frames, so it drops in with no trimming. After stitching, the excess tears off cleanly around the design and leaves no stiff block inside the cap brim, keeping the finished hat comfortable to wear.
Specs. 2.8oz heavyweight tear-away, 100% polyester, acid-free and lead-free, soft against skin. 200 precut 4x8 sheets per pack - shop value for long cap runs. Works on most commercial and home cap-embroidery machines. Add a second layer for very dense designs.
FAQ
Q: Is this made for caps? Yes. The heavyweight 2.8oz tear-away and 4x8 cap-shaped sheets are designed specifically for cap and hat embroidery.
Q: Why 2.8oz instead of 1.8oz? Caps are curved and pull harder than flat fabric, so the heavier 2.8oz gives the extra support a cap needs. For flat shirts and wovens, a 1.8oz tear-away is fine.
Q: Does it tear off cleanly? Yes. After stitching the excess tears away neatly around the design, with no stiff block left inside the brim.
Q: How many sheets per pack? 200 precut 4x8 sheets, sized for cap hoops and cap frames.
Q: Will it fit my cap hoop? The 4x8 sheet suits most standard cap hoops and frames; lay it larger than the frame opening for best hold.
