TACKLE TWILL CUT WORK AND EMBROIDERED APPAREL

Who Uses Tackle Twill?

Tackle Twill is the preferred choice in apparel used by both professional sports teams and school athletic organizations. Most good quality jerseys and uniforms. Look closely at what your favorite football, baseball, or hockey player is wearing on the field. His or her garment has been embellished with personalized tackle twill names and numbers which are then custom embroidered.

Many banners used at corporate events and charity functions also use a combination of tackle twill and embroidery for a richer look and long term durability.

What is Tackle Twill?

Tackle Twill is a technique that uses numbers, letters or an image base shapes cut from polyester or nylon twill fabric. The tackle twill appliques are attached to the selected garment or banner with an adhesive backing that tacks them in place. The edges are then zigzag stitched and the border is then finished with satin-stitch embroidery of the same or a contrasting color.

Images such as the bulldog logo (picture on right) sometimes use a tackle twill base with embroidered features. This combination reduces the number of embroidery stitches needed while creating a three-dimensional work of art.
