Why is there a covering on the stitching on my embroidered product?
Last updated 16 June 2026.
The covering on the stitching is known as an embroidery backing and we use it to stabilise the garment during the embroidery process.

The embroidery backing protects the garment against wrinkling and puckering during the stitching process.

After washing your product a few times, the backing will either fade away completely or shrink and become less visible.
