I use 2.2oz. cutaway backing and really don't have any problems. If the shirt 
is white, I will use 2 layers or mesh backing. Most of the polo shirts I sell 
are Outer Banks or UltraClub so the weave is nice and tight(Shirt manufacturers 
have gotten better about making them for embroiderers). I do not do customer 
purchased items because people will go to Walmart or Kmart and buy some crappy 
shirt that really isn't made to be embroidered. Also, like John said, the 
design needs to be digitized for Pique (the stitches should not be straight up 
and down or it will sink right in.)
Sometimes the design might not look right due to hooping. If the material is 
too tight or too loose, it won't look right. You are welcome to post a picture
