The 98\/2 poly\/spandex front panel holds needle penetration cleanly without puckering, and the structured mid-pro crown provides a stable hooping surface for multi-head machine runs — decorators running the 173 can typically hoop without additional backing material for standard embroidery designs up to 10,000 stitches.
