Tender Touch goes onto the reverse of the design after stitching. The soft knitted material covers the scratchy stitches without changing how the fabric drapes. At 53 g/m² it barely adds any bulk.

Tender Touch ist das aufbügelbare Abdeckvlies von Sulky mit 53 g/m². Es kommt auf die Rückseite einer fertigen Stickerei und deckt die kratzigen Stiche ab, damit die Haut sie nicht spürt. Weil es ein weiches Maschengewebe ist, bleibt der Fall des Stoffs erhalten. Es gibt es in Weiß und Schwarz.
The reverse of an embroidery carries colour changes, jump stitches and knots. On a cushion nobody notices, in a t-shirt they do: that surface rubs against the skin, and on children's clothing it quickly becomes the reason a garment stays in the drawer.
Tender Touch lays a soft layer over it. Because it is a knitted material rather than a firm film, the fabric stays mobile and drapes as before. Iron it on after stitching, with moderate heat and no steam.
The order matters: stitch first, cover afterwards. Fusing it beforehand puts it under the needle as an extra layer — it then works as support, but no longer covers anything.
After stitching, never before. It is meant to cover the finished reverse; used as a backing while stitching it would add support but miss exactly the job it was made for.
Moderate heat and no steam. Too hot and the coating melts through, too damp and it lifts in the first wash. A pressing cloth in between protects both fabric and soleplate.
Yes, when fused properly. If a corner lifts after a wash, the heat was usually too low or the time too short — simply press the spot again.
