The same quality materials we use are available by the yard. We offer a wide selection of fabrics. Whether you use dies, other equipment-cutting methods, or hand-cut your design - buying by the yard is both economical and easy.

Tackle Twill

A twill material with a thermal adhesive backing, for a high quality look with custom appliqué and sewn lettering. Must be sewn to prevent fraying. Also available in pressure-sensitive for simple positioning. Tackle Twill is a process where designs are cut from polyester twill fabric and sewn or heat pressed to a garment. An adhesive backing tacks the material in place and the edges are sewn with a zig-zag or satin stitch or heat pressed with transfer vinyl. Tackle Twill is most commonly known for its use for athletic lettering on the uniforms of professional sports teams. The use of twill to create "appliques" is a great alternative to filled areas of embroidery and creates a cool look by adding dimension and texture. The main advantage of tackle twill is the reduction of embroidery stitches needed to fill a design area. Tackle twill looks great on hoodies as well.

Available in HEAT-SEAL ADHESIVE or PRESSURE-SENSITIVE ADHESIVE

    Heat Seal Adhesives are also known as Thermoplastic Adhesives. Thermoplastic adhesive has also been referred to as hot-melt and thermal-sensitive. It is uniform in thickness, flexible, and light in weight. Because of these properties, it is easy to use - especially when compared to thermosetting adhesives. Heat seal adhesive allows for re-positioning in those occasionally necessary re-work situations. In addition to the above characteristics, they are also environmentally friendly and made without volatile organic compounds (VOC's).

    Pressure-sensitive Adhesive will stick with application of pressure only (without activation by heat) . The adhesive that is coated on the backing substrate is a pressure-sensitive adhesive. When combined with the face fabric under pressure, it bonds/laminates to the face fabric. Pressure-sensitive adhesive makes appliqué embroidery a snap - no spray cans of adhesive with the sticky mess and noxious fumes. Just peel off the backing and position your appliqué piece to embroider.
