Hi Everyone! I am new to embroidery. Where does everyone like to purchase their blank clothing (both adult and children)?

Thanks so much!!

Welcome! Whever you purchase them, be sure & wash & dry them so you'll know if they really, really draw up! I use the tees at Hobby Lobby, AC Moore & Michael's often. I don't like the brand at JoAnns as it's sorta thin. I also like Grananimals at WalMart...but it's hard to find blank shirts anywhere! Of course you can go online & get blanks. All About Blanks on line is good to work with. I'm sure more ladies will hop in here & give you more good advise...but you can start with these as the shirts aren't too expensive & if you're new, you may not want to put money in an expensive shirt before you've settled on how you want to do it! As for other clothing...anywhere you normally buy clothes & like the quality! Kohls, etc.

If you have a business license, check out Alpha Shirts and SanMar. Or, get cozy with your local screen printer who may be willing to give you discounts with repeat orders through their (above mentioned) suppliers.

Agree on Garanimals at WalMart, also buy their plastic lined terry bibs, cloth diapers in the large bag (for burp cloths). Sometimes I buy their striped onesies and sweat out which design works on that! Hobby Lobby for canvas book bags and 18 and 24 month onesies (hard to find). Target nice, if thin, infant blanket in pink or blue.World Market has great napkins in pretty colors about 6 for $10. Baby jeans and adult jean shirts, Goodwill, Salvation Army. Marshall's men's handkerchiefs. Tuesday Morning always changing - have found Levi's backpacks and purses there. JoAnn's t shirts but only on the good sale. Also, when offered a coupon of 50% off one cut of fabric, ask if you can buy a bolt of white Kona cloth!

I buy my aprons at a chain store called Smart and Final. I also have an outlet for sweatshirts nearby, but you can get the same ones at this link. I have a few other links that you might want to check out. Also, when I buy napkins, I buy 6 doz at a time. They may or may not require a resale license. They didn't use to, but they may now.
