can a FSl design be used on a t-shirt? Sounds dumb but a lady wants wings for the back of a shirt, but the design she purchased from Urban designs is an FSL.beautiful though.

I don't know the answer but I wonder about the density of stitches in the various areas where the pattern joins.
If I get time, I might try this as it has me wondering now.

It is possible, but will be very dense so T-shirt fabric will be a bit flimsy. Increasing the size of the design will help a bit.

Perhaps you could sew it out as FSL and then sew it onto the shirt...

Great idea!!! That way the shirt is not ruined. Kay

Thanks for everyone's help. I finally just convinced her to buy a new wing design from Embroidery Library. Also to take it to a commercial embroider. I do not like tackling something that has to be so exact.

You have taken the right decision not to do it yourself, the FSL is far too dense for a T-shirt.
I'm not too sure about buying the designs herself and give it to a commercial embroiderer. I think it would be a breach of copyright, as the design you buy should be for yourself only.
Hugs, Lidia

Interesting question. I often wondered myself if FSL designs can be used on T-shirt-fabric. But thanks to Sue it is a good recommen-
dation to increase the design to get a lower density

Were they angel wings? I do remember seeing the one on Emblibrary. Whatever you decide on I suggest you test on a piece of cotton knit. Don't forget to use cut-a -way no show mesh stabilizer and a 75 ball point needle. Good luck and post the in projects when you finish. Kay

I would do it seperatly and sew it on the Tee shirt when it is done! Good luck . Suzanne
