My answer to him was after a year of washings the fabric itself starts to break down losing it shape and properties. The best embroidery in the world can not withstand the fact that fabric wears out eventually. With performance shirts we all experience the difficulty of embroidery with out puckers. I just had a design that sewed out great on test fabric but when put on the ultra club shirts had a bit of a wave to it. I had the idea to use a fuseable mesh on the embroidery after trimming and it added stablization to the fabric to enable the embroidery to lay nice an flat. while it is an extra step I really like the look of the shirt afterwards. Thought I would share that tidbit with all.
