What is the best type of t-shirts for embroidery?
For such a simple thing as a t-shirt, there sure is a lot of fancy stuff to describe blank t-shirts out there. Is there any thing special I have to look for when purchasing t-shirts for custom embroidery or are all t-shirts suitable for embroidery? Thanx.

What do you mean by this? I embroider on tshirts all time and have not had much problem. Of course, some tshirts are better than others

Re: What is the best type of t-shirts for embroidery?
Welcome Rodney
 Candygirl, I think what ScottyStitches meant was that t-shirts or lightweight garments are not suited for full front designs. For example, try embroidering 10x10 design with 80% coverage on a lightweight t-shirt. It can be done, however it is more practical to screen print the design instead. Rodney, I mainly look for heavyweight and preshrunk t-shirts. Last edited by Marc : February 15th, 2006 at 04:44 AM. |
