Product Details
PSA Permanent is the ultimate HTV Twill product, as it can be plotter-cut with a 60° blade, laser cut, die cut, scissor cut or shear cut. It can also be heat-applied, sewn onto the garment, or a combination of both on multicolor designs. PSA Permanent is the perfect product for businesses wanting to keep a single inventory for all applications. The peel-and-stick adhesive is repositionable and is excellent for layering and kiss-cutting. The PVC-free adhesive (PS965 16.5″ PSA Permanent) features a needle glide additive so it can be sewn on without gumming up the embroidery needle. (View Adhesive Backing Options)

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What Is PSA Permanent Sports Twill?
A: Tackle Twill is a generic name for the fabric lettering used to decorate athletic jerseys. Originally used for football, it is a very tough, durable material now used on all sports and cheerleading uniforms. Our registered version of it is called Sports Twill. PSA Permanent Sports Twill is the #1 choice for laser cutters. It can be used for no-sew applications or it can be embroidered onto garments as an applique. Perfect for kiss-cutting 2-color designs. Repositionable. Works with all laser cutters and applications.
Q: Can This Product Be Layered?
A: Yes. It can be layered 2 or 3 layers thick with Sports Twill or Metallic Twill or another applique material like Sports Felt for multicolor designs. We recommend a maximum of 3 layers as 4 or more layers can be too thick to heat apply.
Q: Is the PSA Permanent Sports Twill PVC-Free?
A: Yes. Both our Sports Twill and proprietary adhesives are 100% free of PVCs.
Q: What Is PSA Permanent Sports Twill Used For?
A: Sports Twill — also known as Tackle Twill — is a decorative material used by all major league sports teams. It has texture and depth, and a more premium feel compared to screen-printing or HTV Vinyl. NOTE: This product is not recommended for split-front baseball jerseys. Baseball jerseys usually have piping and buttons that interfere with the even pressures needed to seal the transfer properly.
Q: Does PSA Permanent Sports Twill Feature An Adhesive Backing?
A: The thermal adhesive backing completely seals the twill yarns and provides stability for cutting + sewing onto garments. The heat seal adhesive features a 5-Mils thick polyester-based coating that is PVC-free and can be cut on plotters, dies, lasers or even hand-cut. The 2-Mil Mylar liner acts as a carrier sheet that protects the 0.5-Mil thick pressure-sensitive adhesive (PSA) until it is ready to be peeled. This adhesive system — (PS965 16.5″ PSA Permanent) — is available separately for coating materials other than tackle twill.
Q: Does The PS965 16.5″ PSA Permanent Adhesive Gum Up Sewing Needles?
A: Our proprietary adhesives feature a needle glide additive designed to sew without gumming. Sharp needles work better than ballpoint needles. HINT: Coating the needle with silicone also helps to promote a clean stitch. All manners of stitching work well, including zig zag, satin, bean, and lockstitch. (View Adhesive Backing Options)
Q: Can I Cut PSA Permanent Sports Twill On A Tabletop Plotter?
A: This fabric cuts clean on all desktop cutters including Cricut and Silhouette Cameo. All forms of cutting work on the PSA Permanent Sports Twill — laser, plotter, flat-bed plotter, die cutting and shearing.
Q: What Blade Should I Use To Cut PSA Permanent Sports Twill?
A: A 60° blade works best for cutting PSA Permanent Sports Twill. On some machines it’s called the “thick” blade. Machines vary, but 120 grams of downforce is usually sufficient to get a clean cut.
Q: Do I Have To Sew The PSA Permanent Sports Twill Design After Cutting It?
A: PSA Permanent is the ultimate HTV Twill product, as it can be heat-applied, sewn onto the garment, or a combination of both on multicolor designs.
Q: How Long Does PSA Permanent Sports Twill Last On The Garment?
A: We have tested this material up to 50 wash and dry cycles in a home laundry environment without fraying, cracking or peeling. PSA Permanent Sports Twill is often sewn down onto garments, so it should last as long as the garment itself.
Q: Can I Use Sports Twill To Embroider Custom Patches?
A: Yes. Our poly-backed Sports Twill works perfectly for embroidering patches.
