Tufting Mesh Backing Fabric – Reinforcement Scrim for Rug Backs

The step that turns your project into a rug that lasts. Our open-weave mesh backing fabric goes onto the back of your finished tufted piece – pressed into the fresh glue layer, it anchors every single tuft so nothing works its way loose.

The loose mesh structure is exactly the point: the glue seeps through the weave and bonds pile, primary cloth and reinforcement into one solid piece. Made from soft cotton, it's easy to handle and trims cleanly with scissors. That's how your backing gets the stability a good rug needs – the kind you never see again, but always feel.
