GS UK A non-woven STIFFY backing
An option for all applications As the UK distributor of Gunold threads and backing for over 30+ years, GS UK offers a full range of stabilisers and more specialist backings to the industrial embroiderer.
GS UK’s broad selection of non-woven stabilisers includes a variety of thicknesses, weights of backing and various roll sizes, ensuring there is an option for all applications from knitwear, towelling and fl eeces, through to leather and more lightweight delicate fabrics. For those customers who wish to specify their own roll widths (cut from a 1m wide roll) GS UK also offers a roll cutting service. Alongside the traditional non-woven stabilisers there are a number of specialist backings available.
For example, Filmoplast is a self-adhesive backing that allows materials to be laid out on top of the Filmoplast and embroidered without the need for framing. It is also ideal for embroidering items that won’t fi t into a frame such as belts and horse blankets etc.
For those embroidering scarves, ties or towels that require a backing to be completely removed from the reverse of the garment, options include Solvy, a water-soluble backing, or Thermofi lm which can be removed with heat. Thermofoil (BSN) is a thermo fi lm which permanently bonds embroideries, patches and emblems without sewing. It is simply ironed or heat pressed on to the back of a completed embroidery design, ideal for appliqués, patches and emblems as well as the permanent bonding of edges, borders and seams. The comprehensive product range that GS UK supplies means it can offer a solution to your embroidery requirements.

ETC Supplies ICTCS3
Perfect for clamping heavier, bulkier items Do you have problems with clamping heavy, bulky items such as horse blankets?
Here is the solution! EMS Rail Mounted Clamping System, the ICTCS3, is the largest in the ICTCS line of clamps. It boasts a huge 13in x 9in sewing window. Due to the width of the clamp, it does not fi t in between most standard tubular arms, so this product is rail mounted for better support and strength.
ICTCS3 clamping system features:
• A single lever which opens, closes and locks the clamp. • Sturdy metal construction: powder coated aluminium and stainless steel. • Automatic adjustment to different fabric thickness. • Clamping action which does not leave hoop burns. • Clamp stays on the machine while loading and unloading. The ICTCS3 is used for large designs on heavy blankets, sport bags, towels, car mats, duffel bags and anything else you can clamp in the frame and sew through.
Due to the large size of the ICTCS3, it will work on only large format machines. Rail mounting adapters are available for Brother, Tajima, SWF, Barudan, Happy and HCD.
ETC has many different clamping solutions to suit any type of machine and size of embroidery.
