3.3.6 Backing material. The backing material, when specified, shall be a light, open-weave,
single ply fabric weighing 2.5 oz. (minimum) per square yard and having a minimum thread
count of 40 ends in the warp and 20 ends in the filling. It shall have a minimum breaking
strength of 30 pounds in the warp direction and 20 pounds in the filling direction. At the option
of the manufacturer, a non-woven pressed fiber material shall be permitted as backing material
provided that it satisfies the performance requirements stated herein.
3.3.7 Stiffener. When specified, insignia shall be treated on the reverse side with a fabric
finish which will stiffen the insignia to facilitate subsequent processing. The fabric finish shall
not affect the colors on the face of the insignia; cause puckering which seriously affects the
appearance of insignia; or react adversely to storage, laundering, wet-dry cleaning, or ironing.
3.4 Design. The design and color placement for embroidered insignia shall be as shown on
the Government furnished cartoon or drawing (see 6.5).
3.5 Construction. The insignia shall be embroidered on an automatic type embroidery
machine in accordance with this specification and the Government furnished cartoon. Cartoons
are furnished for design; color of yarns; placement of stitches; number of under, cover, and
miscellaneous stitches; and minimum stitches required. Because all cartoons are based on
Schiffli embroidery machine capabilities, the stitch count requirements required by the
applicable cartoon shall be doubled for other than Schiffli embroidery machines. The density of
cover stitches may be increased in critical areas where defects may occur. All thread ends shall
be trimmed.
3.5.1 Embroidery stitches. The embroidery stitches shall be of the type, length, number,
and density specified on the applicable Government cartoon. The total stitches specified on the
cartoon are full stitches and constitute two revolutions or movements of the Schiffli machine.
Underlay stitches shown on the cartoon by numbers are 1/2 stitches (one movement of the
machine) but are converted to full stitches on the tabular listing. Except where otherwise
