Backing for a laptop sleeve

[Donna B]

I am putting a logo on an OGIO (material - polyethylene foam) laptop sleeve. This is the first time I have done one of these and I am not sure what type of backing to use. Any suggestions?

Thank you.

I am doing an order of OGIO gym bags
Very stiff fabric.
I am not using any backing just the mighty hoop
and they are beautiful.

and the hoop holds them perfectly!

Is there any stretch at all to the laptop sleeve and what is your approx stitch count and s it dense?

Hi, Fred:

Yes it does have a little stretch to it. The design was provided by the company who has used it for embroidery with another company. The stitch total is 4,674. The part I am trying to sew on is a little less than a 1/4" thick. I am having tons of thread breaks. I have adjusted the acti-feed, the presser foot, changed needles, etc. Most of the design is lettering and I am really frustrated. Any help you or anyone can offer will be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.
