Thanks Aaron and Roland!! I'm gonna call them tomorrow to get an account set
up. That way I'll be able to put in an order quickly when someone asks for the
heavy guys! ;>)-

Hey Roland!! Debbie here! What tees are 7oz. besides Port Authority and
Gildan? I have searched for a really heavyweight tee (even though many of
them call their shirt a heavyweight, they aren't). Thanks!!!!!

Because teeshirts are the absolute worst garbage material you can think
of embroidering on...most shops won't even touch them.
You need several layers of 3 oz. backing just to get a stable base...
standard teeshirts are only 5.5 to 6.5 oz. material, decent 100% cotton
heavyweights might be 7 oz., and some of the real good premium weight
shirts can be 8 oz.
But it is not a pique knit or poplin, heavy weave material-it's a
lightweight
fabric that just isn't made for embroidery.
You have to back off on density-the needle is making the holes, the
thread is
tightening up and exposing it-and the material
itself will rip easily, very very easily, so after you've punched a
hundred holes
in a half inch area for embroidery-then the thread tightens up and pulls
it in...
instant hole!
I won't do teeshirts. Period!
Just not worth embroidering on anything that costs LESS than the thread
price to sew on it.
The only way around it is a ton of backing-then it looks and feels like
you
have a patch sewn on the inside of the shirt and is very noticeable.
My opinion...
