A year or so ago, Outer Banks had problems with some of their shirts. By and
large they are decent shirts. But the type of shirt depends on the end user.
If your customer is going to put them landscapers then lower end shirts like
Anvil 6003 or Gildan 31000 might be better suited. You can buy these 100%
cotton shirts for $6 to $7. But if he is going to put them on office staff
or sales staff who go out in the community he might want to try the moisture
management shirts which are in the $15 range. Just about every brand has
them. If he has a need for tall sizes try TriMountain. They go from XS to 6
XLT and have lots of women's style shirts. As far as sewing on pique goes,
the default settings in the fabric adjust feature on your Amaya will do
well. Use a 2 1/2 ounce cut away backing. Be certain you adjust the presser
foot properly. It might beneficial if you try a few sew outs first on some
scrap pique. You should always do a sew out on every new design. You can do
this on doubled up backing though.

I have a customer who wants to use pique polo shirts for his embroidered
business attire. He mentioned Outer Banks. What style numbers do y'all like
to use? I would like to offer him a couple of choices.
I need lots of advice on how to digitize for this type of material. I had
such a problem with embroidering on a t-shirt (something I digitized), so I
am nervous. I know how to hoop, what stabilizers to use, and what needle,
but I don't feel comfortable about density, pull comp and underlay. This
also has lettering, a sans serif font, which will stitch directly on the
shirt.
John (of LevelBest), I saw your "starter special' with 2 Outer Banks shirts
plus logo for $75.00. I think that's a great idea. How complex a logo will
you do for this price?
