The design is Dakota cricket #WL0576, 3,600 stitches, about 3" x 2". It ran
fine on other material but I figured as long as I had a small design up, I'd
try teeshirts and your mesh material. The 'head' and body of the cricket are
dense enough to pucker the teeshirt, ran beautiful on sweatshirt with 3 oz.
backing.
I'm trying to find a good combination of backing, mesh and something else if
not 2 layers of mesh, so that when I get teeshirt and light jersey polos I know
what to grab for underlayment. Customers don't like the heavy 'patch' I end up
with to get decent sewouts, even just for names, on the light material.
For some fast, small quantity or even '1' shirt orders, trying to do sample
sewout after sewout is not cost effective. I do 'clean up' most of the Dakota
designs, esp. anything over 5,000 stitches-but after I checked this one in
Designshop it looked clean so I ran it 'as is'.
Next test I'll try the 2 mesh layer, then add 1 oz tearaway under them, see
what happens.
