Product Details
Sports Twill is a type of textile weave with parallel diagonal ridges on its face — or surface — side. The material is very strong and durable, which makes it a favorite for activewear applications. Made from 100% polyester filament yarn, UNCOATED Sports Twill has no adhesive backing — it’s just the fabric — and is shiny in its appearance. In its uncoated state, it is somewhat flimsy and tends to fray when cut. For this reason, we offer adhesive-backed versions which include stabilizers so that it’s easier to cut and handle.
Uncoated Sports Twill can be sewn together into pants or vests. Other popular uses include personalized flags, banners and pennants. It can also be used as an applique fabric for those who have a LaserBridge embroidery machine. Simply lay the Sports Twill on top of the garment, and the LaserBridge machine will stitch the design while the laser cuts away any excess material.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What Is Uncoated 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.
Q: Do I Have To Sew The Design After Cutting It?
A: No. If you cut the PSA Permanent Twill, it can be heat-pressed instead of sewn onto the garment. Depending on how clean it cuts, it can be overlayed with non-fraying material like HTV Sports Film, HTV Sports Flock or HTV Sports Glitter.
Q: Does The PSA Adhesive Gum Up Sewing Needles?
A: Absolutely not. Our proprietary adhesives feature a needle glide additive designed to sew without gumming. Sharp needles work better than ballpoint needles.
Q: How Long Does Uncoated Twill Last On The Garment?
A: It has been tested up to 50 wash and dry cycles in a home laundry environment without fraying, cracking or peeling.
Q: What Blade Should I Use To Cut Uncoated Sports Twill?
A: A 60° blade works best for cutting Tackle Twill. On some machines it’s called the “thick” blade.
Q: Can I Cut Uncoated Sports Twill On A Tabletop Plotter?
A: Yes, with a 60° blade it cuts clean on both the PSA and the PSA Permanent Twill.
Q: Does Uncoated Sports Twill Feature An Adhesive Backing?
A: UNCOATED Sports Twill means “No adhesive backing. Just the fabric.”
Q: Can I Use Uncoated Sports Twill To Embroider Custom Patches?
