I have a tshirt that I embrodered on using a iron-on cutaway stabilizer. I've had this tshirt about 8 months and its been washed several times. Today, I noticed that the tshirt was cut at the edge of the embroidery. It looks as though the needle must have cut all the threads of the tshirt while it was embroidering it. Has anyone had this happen to them?
I'm thinking about putting a little glue behind the cut part of the tshirt and simply glue it to the stabilizer to save it.
I started looking at all the tshirts that I did last summer, and I have a thinner one that when I hold it up to the light, it too is looking like the embroidery cut the fabric. I think I might just use an iron -on facing to hold that one together before it totally separates the shirt from the embroidery.

P.S. Always use a ball point needle on stretchy fabrics.
