Focus on Embroidery
ETC Supplies Even more new embroidery backings
Not content on being one of the market leaders in the supply of embroidery backings, ETC Supplies has developed three new products. Already stocking 75 different types of embroidery backings. The new innovative embroidery backings have been developed due to customer feedback and changes in garment fabrics.
Jas Purba, managing director, says: “No embroidery company should suffer or find it difficult to get excellent results embroidering garments, as we have a job specific product for every type of fabric and application.” The new products are as follows:
Easy Perf Embroidery Backing This range has been developed for the Brother PR or other small embroiderer in mind.
Often these people will have small workshops and they struggle storing and using the embroidery backing. The new Easy Perf backing is sold in small rolls of 50 metres length and widths of 14.25cm, 16.5cm and 20cm. These rolls are perforated (just like kitchen roll) at the same size as the width. This makes it easy for the customer to either hang up the roll or put it on a kitchen roll holder. You simply tear away the pieces as you require them. If you are using two pieces, then just tear every second piece and fold along the perforation. This makes your life so easy and lets you get on with embroidery, rather than moving large rolls around on your kitchen table and trying to cut correct size squares with a scissor.

Wilcom Virtual embroidery, the next frontier
It was 50 years ago that man dared to take that incredible journey and walk on the moon, and the spacesuits they wore will never be forgotten. Emblazoned with badges to signify NASA, the mission and the United States, it would take another decade before they too witnessed a technological advancement and were created on a computer using Wilcom software for machine embroidery. NASA badges are still all created using the very latest Wilcom software. Today, Wilcom has taken another leap forward with EmbroideryStudio, creating virtual embroidery. A digitised design can be exported as a high- resolution PNG file with a transparent background. This image simulates the look of real stitches and sequins using their unique TrueView technology. The exported design can now be printed on soft fabrics or paper using processes such as screen printing, sublimation, dye/heat transfers, direct to garment printing and more. The benefit is that you have a life-like virtual embroidery design printed on an item for a fraction of the time and cost versus real embroidery. It has the embroidered textured look yet soft and smooth to the touch. Take it to the next level with multi-decoration by combining standard vector print together with both virtual embroidery print and real embroidery. The final product looks more exciting than traditional design printing and adds real value to the final product. Wilcomʼs newest flagship EmbroideryStudio e4.2 includes virtual embroidery as a standard feature and now supports a 600dpi resolution. There are also new multi-decoration features coming soon.
So, for your next adventure, why not take your embroidery business further and include virtual embroidery?

schoolwear and any other garments that come into direct contact with the skin. You only ever need to use one piece of this backing as it is 100g in weight. This backing is supplied in skin tone colour which blends in nicely to avoid any show through. This backing even replaces the jobs that you would use Cut Away for. The backing remaining in the design helps to fill the gaps and stop the thread rubbing on the skin. Available on the roll or pre cut pieces. You will find that this backing works on all fabrics.

It does not stretch and even the lighter 40g weight will hold heavy satin stitch border designs.
