Diagonal No Show Nylon Mesh, which is specifically designed to be used with light-colored fabrics where traditional stabilizer shows through the front of the shirt, is now available in a fusible version. By fusing the stabilizer to the garment, it prevents the fabric from shifting or stretching in the hoop, which can affect registration.
Another advantage of the fusible version of this versatile stabilizer is that you can avoid using messy adhesive sprays for the same purpose. Overspray often lands on fabric, the machine, and needles, leaving gummy residue that attracts dust and lint and can affect the performance of the embroidery machine.
Fusible Diagonal Mesh is made with a specially formulated low-melt adhesive. It bonds at only 260 degrees F, which ensures it will not scorch or shrink the fabric. When an embroidery is finished, the edges can be re-fused, and the excess can be trimmed.
In addition to being an ideal support for left chest logos on polo shirts made of piqu? knit, jersey, or micro mesh, it?s also great for T-shirts, infant items, and all types of micro-fiber performance wear. Its super softness makes it ideal as a covering to use over stitching that may feel scratchy next to the skin. It also drapes very well and is almost invisible from the front.
One layer of Diagonal Fusible Mesh supports between 10,000 and 12,000 stitches in a moderately dense design. If you need support for a higher stitch count, an additional layer of tearaway works well. Diagonal Fusible Mesh comes in 15-inch width by 25 yards and 100 yards; 20-inch width by 25 yards, 50 yards and 100 yards, and 30-inch width by 50 yards. All stabilizers can be custom cut upon request.
