Double the backing (one cutaway and one tearaway in a cris-cross shape) and
try using a 60 wt thread.  See if that helps.

I should have also told you...50/50 teeshirts are the absolute worst thing
to embroider on because the fabric is so thin, uneven, lightweight, pulls,
needle holes show, etc. You can easily end up with 3 layers of backing
before the sewing looks good-and then you can see the 'patch' of the
underlayment. Unless you are going on super heavyweight premium shirts-over
8 oz-the lighter shirts just aren't for embroidery.
For polo shirts-a good quality 'pique' knit is preferable but use solvy on
top to keep the thread up above the weave.
A 'jersey' knit polo is nothing more than a teeshirt with a collar!
