I haven't embroiderd onto knits (t-shirts). My sis inlaw has requested her name embroiderd on this medium and need your suggestions please, any tips would be great!

great tips

I use fusible (iron on) no-show mesh on the bottom and wash-away topper (like solvy - really thin) on the top. I also hoop wash-away sticky and then stick the shirt with the mesh to the sticky. I don't hoop the shirt itself.

I use no-show cut away and be sure and use a ball point needle. Have fun. Hugs.. Carol

There is a great Tutorial with pictures at the Floriani website.
Link Below.

It tells what type of stabilizers to use on knit type fabrics such as T-shirts.
It shows step by step how to stabilize the shirts.
You can click on each of the pictures on the right side of the page for a close up of each.

Scroll down the page to read all the information and see the pictures.

I'll take a peek! Thanks!

I use stabilizer on the bottom (not tear away)cut away & then I use abit of wss on the top. It helps to have some left on the back when it gets wahed it will stay nicer then if it just dissappears when it is washed. Hope this helps Lucy Hugs Loralye
