[amayausers.com] New place to store thread

Thought some of you might enjoy this.  Rod and Sharon are here for a friendly 
visit (havent got the bill yet so its still friendly) and Rod found where I 
have been storing my Dark Green thread.  There must have been half a spool 
wrapped up in the cam of the machine.  Here are some pics.

    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...
      Roland
