Backing for Fleece Blankets

[KERRMINATOR]

What do you all use for a backing on fleece blankets? I usually use one layer of cutaway so that the embroidery doesn't shift and get wiggly on the fleece, but I was wondering if there was something softer, that wouldn't be uncomfortable on the back of a blanket.

we do a lot of the fleece 'stadium' blankets to give away with every order of shirts and stuff...and we use soft tear away. Once the blanket gets washed (if ever) the residual tearaway is gone and what is under the thread gets soft.If your density (fill) is good enough and the pressor foot is down, you shouldn't get any 'wiggly' thread on top. Should be nice and snug. Only time I want a loose sewout is on the bulky knit 'beanies' where it has to stretch around the head when worn.

making sure you have proper supporting underlay
We always use just Washaway nonwoven (not the clear ) it works great and have never had a complaint or return.

If the blamnket is thick enough use a fibrous water soluble stabilizer that we simply call washaway
Our distributorsd call it by all kinds of names aka vilene - which is a misnomer

The backing will all washaway except underneath your stitches it remains entangled with the fleece and the embroidery threads.
