Super Strong is meant for badges, crests and anything without a base fabric: it carries the design where no fabric lies beneath. The web measures 25 cm across; the roll holds 5 m. 80 g/m² — the figure that tells you how much stability to expect.
Since it stays in the piece, its colour matters — it should match the fabric and not show through. Cut the web slightly larger than your hoop so it can be clamped all round. Store it dry, flat and without creases.
What Sulky Super Strong Schwarz is suitable for
- machine embroidery on jersey and knits
- badges and crests without a base fabric
- appliqué on knitwear
Sewing tips
- Nach dem Sticken mit einer Applikationsschere dicht am Motiv abschneiden.
- Das Vlies bleibt im Kleidungsstück — deshalb die Farbe zum Stoff passend wählen.
- Für Abzeichen und Wappen ohne Trägerstoff mehrere Lagen verwenden.
- Bei Strickwaren das Vlies großzügig zuschneiden, damit die Maschen rundum gehalten werden.
- Zusammen mit dem Stoff einspannen, nicht nur darunterlegen.

Frequently asked questions
Does the stabiliser stay in the garment?
Yes, that is the point. A cut-away gives the design lasting support and is only trimmed around the embroidery. That is why how it feels matters as much as how it holds.
White or black?
Matched to your fabric. Since it stays in the piece, it shows through thin cloth. White under pale fabrics, black under dark ones — that is the whole difference.
Does it survive washing?
Yes, it is made for it. The design keeps its shape even when a piece is washed regularly. The limit comes from the fabric rather than the stabiliser.
Do I need spray adhesive?
On slippery and very stretchy fabrics it helps. Spray sparingly onto the stabiliser, never onto the fabric, and let it flash off briefly before hooping.
