OESD Badgemaster Aquamesh 12 x 8 YDS #HBABM-12

OESD BadgeMaster AquaFilm 12″?×?8?yds (#HBABM?12)

Key Features

• Clear film, dissolves in warm water.

• Measures 12" wide by 8 yards long.

• Heavy weight — approximately “triple the weight” of standard AquaFilm backing, offering extra stiffness for 3-D or standalone designs.

• Suitable for use on sheer, lightweight, or fine fabrics where underlying support must vanish completely.

• Not sensitive to air humidity (improved user handling).

• alone or in combination with other stabilizers (e.g., used together with AquaMesh for high-stitch-count designs) to add stability and control.

Primary Uses / Applications

• Creating freestanding lace (FSL) or embroidered lace motifs that will have no visible stabilizer remnants.

• Embroidering patches or badges where the end result should be purely thread, or the stabilizer should disappear.

• Engraving/embroidering on sheer or delicate fabrics (e.g., organza, voile) where regular stabilizers would show or compromise appearance.

• 3-D embroidery pieces where a bit of residual stiffness is desired (rinse briefly so some stabilizer remains).

Selling / Marketing Points for Nashua Sew & Vac

• Invisible support – no trace of stabilizer remains after rinse” → great for high-end embroidery projects and specialty garments.

• Mention: “Heavy-weight film for maximum structure” → ideal for freestanding lace, decorative badges, and apparel branding.

• Cross-sell with your service offerings: For customers doing custom embroidery or your in-store embroidery rental/hire service, this is a go-to stabilizer when finishing professional-looking products with clean backs.

• Bundle idea: “Ask about combining with OESD AquaMesh for ultra-dense designs” → helps increase sales of stabilizer-sets.

• Use as an upsell: “If you’ve outgrown regular stabilizer and your satin-edge embroidery shows stabilizer threads or residue, switch to BadgeMaster for premium finish.”

• Highlight maintenance tip: Educate customers about proper rinse/removal and drying to preserve fabric and design integrity.

Compatibility & Specification Notes

• Roll width: 12 inches.

• Length: 8 yards.

• Suitable for embroidery machines supporting dense satin-stitched designs and freestanding lace workflows.

• Supports use on fabric types where minimal or zero stabilizer appearance is required.

• Note: Because it’s a heavy film, some trimming of excess and careful rinsing is recommended for optimal results.

Technical / Usage Tips

• Hoop the stabilizer (and fabric if needed) as you would any other stabilizer. For standalone lace: Example instructions from OESD: cut BadgeMaster and AquaMesh approx. 2” larger than hoop, stack them, hoop layers together, stitch, then trim and rinse.

• After stitching: remove excess stabilizer leaving ~¼″ around the design, then rinse in warm running water. For stiff effect leave some stabilizer; for softer effect extend rinse time.

• Provide guidance for use on thin/transparent fabrics: because BadgeMaster is heavy, it may add some stiffness — test on scrap if fabric is ultra-delicate.

• Encourage customers to dry flat and press lightly if needed, taking care to avoid distortion or shrinking of washed-out areas
