Backing? Nylon Fleece Lined Jacket

[sschroed2]

I'm ready to sew full jacket back design on SanMar Men's Nylon/Fleece lined jackets and positive what backing to use. Looking at the books etc, it says Tearaway for nylon, but cutaway for fleece. I'm thinking because of the lining I should use Cut-Away. Is this correct? I have 16 jackets to do and really don't want to mess any of them up.

Thank you to the users that responsed. I did use cutaway and it worked well.

You will,usually, get better registration w a cutaway than a tearaway as cutaways have longer fibers (polyester = softness) of the cutaway -
A cutaway must be soft and drapable

The fibers can become far more easily and tightly entrangled w the threads = better definition = better registration.

Depending on your stitch count and density you should strive to use one layer of the correct weight between 2-3 ozs

We will gladly explain this to any of you in person - on this list - that are going to the Long Beach ISS Jan 19th
We hope to meet some of you there.

Sincerely
Fred
