Embroidering on Sportswear Garments – The Easy Fix

Embroidering on Sportswear Garments – The Easy Fix

Daniel Horgan |

Embroiderers often struggle with silky polyester garments, especially those used in sportswear. These fabrics are lightweight, treated with breathable or moisture-wicking coatings, and designed for comfort – but that makes them notoriously difficult to embroider. Common problems include puckering, pulling, and even damage to the garment.

While you can adjust thread tensions, needles, and stabilisers, what most embroiderers want is a quick and reliable solution. That’s where ETC Supplies’ Super Spun backing comes in.

Why Super Spun Works:

  • High-performance material – Made from premium polyester fibres, giving excellent stability.
  • Lightweight and discreet – Almost translucent, so it won’t show through delicate fabrics.
  • Cut-away strength – Just one layer per design is enough, preventing puckering or distortion.
  • Protects garments – Reduces the risk of holes caused by thread tension issues.
Super Spun Backing

With over 30 years of experience developing specialist embroidery backings, ETC Supplies understands what embroiderers need – performance, simplicity, and quality. Super Spun delivers all three, helping you save time and achieve flawless results, even on the trickiest polyester garments.
