35gsm 30D Nylon Mesh Fabric — 6430 Weave Netting for Apparel Structuring and Embroidery Backing | China Weijin

35gsm nylon single-multifilament mesh. 6430 weave. It sits between the 28gsm and the 40gsm — more body than the lighter stuff, less weight than the heavy. The hand feel is balanced: not too crisp, not too soft. It has a clean, dry finish that presses well and holds a crease without being board-like. The 30D yarn gives it a bit more substance than the 20D versions, so it feels more present in the hand without being heavy. Cuts clean, feeds smooth, doesn't slide around on the cutting table.

It's sturdy for its weight. The 30D yarn at 35gsm gives it better tear strength than lighter meshes while staying flexible enough for garment applications. Won't distort under embroidery stitching even at high speeds. Shrinkage is minimal — under 3% on first wash. Resists wrinkling better than cotton-based interlinings. It's not built for heavy outdoor abrasion, but for what it's designed to do — backing, interlining, structuring — it holds up through production and through the life of the garment.

Embroidery backing — flat and stable under the needle. The 35gsm weight hits a good balance for most embroidery applications: enough body to support dense stitching, not so thick that it bulks up the finished piece. Works on single-head and multi-head machines.

Garment interlining — collars, cuffs, waistbands, front plackets. Adds structure without changing the hand feel of the outer fabric. Presses clean, holds a fold.

Bag and accessory lining — clean interior finish with enough body to hold shape.

Cap and hat backing — supports structured embroidery on curved surfaces without adding stiffness.

Apparel structuring — underneath sheers, lace, and mid-weight fabrics that need a stable but flexible base layer.

1. What is 6430 nylon mesh fabric?

6430 refers to the weave specification of this particular nylon mesh — it indicates the machine gauge and pattern configuration used during production. The 6430 weave creates a uniform netting structure with balanced openness and stability. It's a single-multifilament construction, meaning it uses both monofilament (for structure) and multifilament (for softness) yarns in the same weave. At 35gsm with 30D yarn, it's a mid-weight option suitable for embroidery backing, garment interlining, and apparel structuring.

2. How does 35gsm compare to lighter and heavier mesh weights?

35gsm is a versatile middle weight. Lighter meshes (28gsm and below) are more flexible and better for soft garments, but they offer less support under dense embroidery stitching. Heavier meshes (40gsm and above) provide more stability but add bulk. At 35gsm, this fabric handles both roles reasonably well — enough support for most embroidery work, light enough for garment interlining. It's a good general-purpose option if you need one mesh that does both jobs.

3. Can I use this for machine embroidery? Will it hold up under multi-head machines?

Yes. This is one of the primary applications. The 6430 single-multifilament weave gives it good dimensional stability under tension. It won't flag or bounce under high-speed stitching. The 35gsm weight provides enough body to support dense embroidery patterns without the fabric distorting. Works on both flat and cap embroidery machines.

4. Is this fabric see-through? Can I use it as a veil or overlay fabric?

No — this is not a transparent or sheer fabric. At 35gsm with the 6430 weave, it has body and structure. It's designed for backing, interlining, and structuring applications where the fabric lives inside the garment or underneath the outer fabric. If you need sheer, lightweight mesh for veils or overlays, look at our 10gsm transparent mesh or 15gsm American mesh instead.

5. What's the MOQ? Can I get a sample first?

MOQ is 500 yards per color for stock colors. For custom colors, minimum is 500 yards per color. Samples are free — you cover shipping. We ship swatches within 24 hours of your request. We recommend testing the fabric with your actual production setup before placing a bulk order.
