Our experience has been to NOT do sewing on teeshirts-they have been the
absolute worst material to work on (except heavier than normal ones-9 oz. or
so). Not one of the teeshirts we have done, at customers insistence, has
been a job we were proud of...but the customer liked them! Too much
puckering, thread pulling the fabric into holes, and having to use so much
backing that when worn it looks like there is a patch on the inside...
even lightweight polo shirts (Anvil brand-I outright REFUSE to embroider or
screen print anything from that company) do the same things. We try to
educate the customer into getting  a product that at least cost MORE than
the embroidery on it!
