Wash Away Topping Film 12"x25yd Roll package Washable Fabric Backing for Machine & Hand Sewing, Ideal for Fabric
Wash Away Topping Film – 12"×25 yd Clear Water-Soluble Embroidery Topper
Keep stitches crisp on plush and textured fabrics with this wash away topping film. The clear, water-soluble embroidery topper sits on top of the fabric to prevent stitch sink-in, then tears away cleanly and rinses out with water for a professional finish—ideal for machine embroidery and hand sewing embellishment.
Why choose this topper
- Stops stitch sink-in – Keeps small lettering and fine details sharp on towels, fleece, velvet, terry, minky, and rib knits.
- Clear placement – Transparent film lets you see hoop marks and alignment lines while stitching.
- Fast clean-up – Tear away the excess after stitching; dab or rinse remaining film with water for a residue-free result.
- Production-friendly roll – 12" × 25 yd (≈30.5 cm × 22.9 m) fits common hoops; cut only what you need to reduce waste.
- Needle-friendly – Smooth surface supports consistent stitch formation with common needle sizes (75/11–90/14).
- Wide compatibility – Works with Brother, Janome, Singer, Baby Lock, Bernina, Juki, Husqvarna Viking, and most home/commercial embroidery machines.
How to use
- Hoop your fabric with the appropriate backing (tear-away or cut-away, depending on the fabric).
- Place a piece of wash away topping film on top of the hooped fabric and embroider.
- After stitching, tear away the excess film. Remove any remaining bits by dabbing with water or lightly rinsing.
Tip: For very plush fabrics or tiny satin text, use two light layers of topper for extra definition.
