Description

The Hook: The tearaway that won't bite back. Achieve the stability of a commercial backing with a post-wash softness that feels like a natural part of the garment.

What It Is: Our #308S Supersoft TearAway is a 1.8oz technical nonwoven designed for comfort. Engineered with longer polyester fibers and a specialized wet-laid process, this stabilizer provides dimensional stability during the stitch-out but transitions into a soft, fibrous "worn-in" feel after the first wash.

Application Guidelines:

  • The "Next-to-Skin" Solution: Ideal for Oxford shirts, lightweight denim, and children’s wear. Unlike standard "crisp" tearaways that can leave sharp remnants, the Supersoft version is specifically designed for apparel where the embroidery back will sit directly against the skin.
  • Long-Fiber Technology: By utilizing elongated polyester fibers, this stabilizer offers superior stitch holding and coverage while maintaining a soft, drapable hand. It provides the coverage of a cutaway with the convenience of a tearaway.
  • Clean Tear, Soft Edge: While it is dimensionally stable in the hoop, it is formulated to tear away cleanly. The remaining fibers are soft and pliable, ensuring zero irritation for the end user.

Laboratory Pro-Tips:

  • The Oxford Recipe: For dress shirts and wovens, pair the 1.8oz Supersoft with a 70/10 or 75/11 Sharp needle. This minimizes the perforation size and allows the stabilizer to do its job without adding bulk to the placket or chest.
  • Friction Defense: Even in our softest line, we include integrated needle lubricants. This reduces needle heat and prevents thread breaks during high-speed production runs.
  • Industrial Durability: Fully stable through commercial laundering and dry-cleaning; designed to stay soft and secure for the life of the garment.

From a customer

It is extremely durable and holds up to a high stitch count beautifully. To put it simply, it stays put until you don’t want it to. When you do tear the tearaway away, there are no fuzzies to worry about.
