FILMOPLAST
For light to medium-weight fabrics and for fixation of small fabric pieces!
FILMOPLAST® and FILMOPLAST® STRONG are emboirdery nonwovens, but they can do much more ... The self-adhesive embroidery stabilizers allow an embroidery technique were only the stabilizer is clamped in the ebroidery frame. All fabrics to be embroidered ar only laid on. This prevents frame marks on delicate fabrics. As adhesive version it stabilises woven and knit materials while improving stitch images. And extremely small pieces not suitable for hooping can be embellished just as conveniently with this versatile adhesive film. Even caps are quickly customised without using a special cap frame – simply stick them on FILMOPLAST® or FILMOPLAST® STRONG and off you go!
FILMOPLAST® and FILMOPLAST® STRONG are economical. Holes left in the hooped film after embroidery completion are simply covered with remnant pieces. Eliminating repeated hooping of the frames, setting-up and stoppage times will be minimised which truly saves time during production processes. All in all: it’s an investment that optimises your profits!

FILMOPLAST® - Self-adhesive nonwoven
Note:
Embroidery with FILMOPLAST® and FILMOPLAST® STRONG is very economical. For each embroidery, you only need to calculate the consumption of the small remnant piece that you need to close the hole.
1. Hoop FILMOPLAST®/FILMOPLAST® STRONG with the protective paper facing up.
To facilitate the positioning of the work piece, mark the respective areas: let the embroidery needle penetrate the fleece at four different points. Connect the four points using a ruler and pen to create a crosshair.
2. Using scissors or a needle, slightly slit open the protective paper and peel off the paper so the adhesive side is uncovered.
The crosshair marking on the protective paper presses through onto the nonwoven. If necessary, redraw it on the nonwoven to make it more visible.
3. Place the fabric on the nonwoven’s adhesive side.
Select fixed points on the fabric to determine the right position at the crosshair, e.g.
· for polo shirt embroideries: the button facing
· for shirt collar embroideries: the collar edge
Place the fabric on top, position it and firmly press it down.
Embroider the design.
4. Carefully peel off the embroidered fabric from the adhesive film. The hoop remains in the machine.
Tip: To facilitate the removal of the work piece from the hoop, the hoop can be moved forwards.
5. Cover the hole left in the nonwoven with a matching remnant piece of FILMOPLAST® or FILMOPLAST® STRONG.
Tip: The remnant piece should be slightly larger than the hole to be covered. Make sure to attach the remnant piece from the top so it will not stick to the stich plate during the following embroidery process. Peel off the protective paper only after the remnant piece has firmly been attached to the hole to be covered.
6. Place the next fabric piece to be embroidered on the reference points, position the hoop at the starting point and embroider the design.
7. Embroidery processes can be repeated this way various times after hooping FILMOPLAST® or FILMOPLAST® STRONG only once.
Tip!
The remnant pieces pile up while holes are being covered and will guide the embroidery needle during the following embroidery process like stitching on a stencil.
The result are needle-sharp design outlines.
Storage: For acclimatization purposes FILMOPLAST® should be kept in the same room where it’s being processed for at least 3 hours prior to its application.
