Sulky ActionBack is a permanent, cut-away stabilizer designed to provide great permanent stability for embroidery and decorative stitching on stretchy, slippery garments. Stable in both directions, ActionBack prevents drifting outlines, bunching, and puckering.
With Sulky ActionBack, you can easily embroider performance-weight fabrics that have varying degrees of stretch, such as moisture-wicking, spandex, microfiber, and more!
This cut-away variety remains as a separate layer behind the fabric after embellishing to retain the fabric stretch and drape. ActionBack also supports all sorts of stitch densities, from lightweight line-art styles to heavy stitch fills, without puckering or buckling. Fiber Content: 50/50 Poly/Cotton Blend
Favorite Uses: Performance-weight fabrics Stretch fabrics Moisture-wicking fabrics Golf shirts Leggings Costumes Machine Embroidery
Hand Weight: Heavy
Soft 'n Sheer: Is an iron-on cut-away. 100% nylon as are almost all mesh-type stabilizers, and it is considered a medium weight.
I have personally used our ActionBack on the leggings project we offer, and it is exceptionally comfortable to the skin and moves with the fabric beautifully, and retains the shape and form of the embroidery design. It will be my first choice for these types of performance fabrics.
