Having done screenprinting for 25 years...and embroidery now for 3, I'd stay
away from this myself!
And embroidery that size on teeshirts? What a waste of money!
Embroidery will cost 4 times the cost of the shirt-unless he is using a super
premium weight shirt and not the standard 'teeshirt'.
About the only way I could see lining this up in a hoop to embroider would take
a plexi 'hoop station' with a black image of the screened design on it, and
backlight with a bulb-so you can see 'through' the shirt to line up the design
and put the hoop in the same place every time. And even then-with teeshirt
material able to stretch like crazy-you cannot guarantee any type of alignment!
Not without a lot of rejects!
Just having the hoop off by 2 degrees from 'straight' and the letters will not
even come close to alignment on both ends.
