1.5oz Press n' Tear

The Hook: Stop fighting the hoop and start "floating." Secure difficult, tiny, or heavy items with a professional-grade pressure-sensitive adhesive that holds like a vice but releases like a dream.

What It Is: Our #3015PT Press n' Tear is a needle-friendly, 1.5oz technical "sticky" tearaway. Engineered with a dense, "wet-laid" non-directional weave, this stabilizer features a high-tack adhesive surface protected by a release paper. It allows you to hoop the stabilizer alone, expose the adhesive, and "float" your item on top—eliminating hoop burn and registration shift on the most difficult projects.

Application Guidelines:

• The "Un-Hoopable" Specialist: The absolute gold standard for items that are too small, too thick, or too delicate for traditional hooping. Perfect for baby socks, cuffs, collars, heavy jackets, and performance cooler bags.
• Eliminate Hoop Burn: By sticking the garment to the stabilizer rather than clamping it in a frame, you prevent the permanent "ring" marks often left on delicate or high-pile fabrics like velvet or performance knits.
• High-Efficiency Removal: Designed for a clean, crisp tear. Despite its strong grip during the stitch-out, it releases effortlessly from the fabric, leaving no sticky residue or fuzzy remnants behind.

Laboratory Pro-Tips:

• The "Score & Peel" Hack: To reveal the adhesive, simply score the paper backing with a pin or the tip of your shears in a "X" pattern. Peel back the corners to expose the sticky surface exactly where you need it without losing the tension of the hoop.
• Needle Science: For the ultimate "zero-clog" experience, pair Press n' Tear with Organ Cool Sew Needles. The anti-friction coating combined with the stabilizer's integrated needle lubricants ensures a flawless production run.
• Floating Heavy Gear: For heavy jackets or blankets, the adhesive acts as an extra hand, keeping the weight of the fabric from pulling the hoop out of alignment during high-speed production.
