Toogie, if you will refer to "Jofrog2000"'s comment on the link listed above, you will find her method fits the bill for success in embroidery on t-shirts. Knits are so stretchy, the fusible mesh ironed to the backside of where the design is to be stitched, being very careful not to pull the knit while ironing the fusible on, works well. Any tugging on knit when hooping can add to the puckering, so through many trials and errors, I find hoopiing only the light weight cutaway, as Jofrog described, does best.

The denser the design, the more stabilizer you need. I use a temporary adhesive to affix my OESD poly mesh stabilizer. I hoop the shirt and stabilizer. Then, I ALWAYS affix with straight pins some water soluable stabilizer on top of the design area, so that my stitches don't sink into the t-shirt material. IF the design is very dense, I will float a piece of tear away underneath. I do dozens of shirts weekly and this is how I do them. ;)

I have good luck hooping a piece of cotton/poplin with the T-shirt. It will be your 'cut-away' stabilizer, so use pinking shears to cut it off to avoid any fraying.

for the t's I just did I used OSED poly weave fusible I ironed it on the back, hooped shirt and stitched, peeled off and cut away close to embroidery, ironed back down. if it was for a child I would cover it with cloud cover you just iron it over the back side of embroidery after keeps the stitches away from the child's skin.
