Hey Everyone,

What are the best recipes for backing, stitch speed, ?topping on windshirts?
Just finished 3 dozen golf shirts and need to tackle the windshirts, visors and baseball caps next.
The design is about 6000 stitches...an area of water, three pine trees and text.
Measures 4 X 2. Windshirts are Most Wanted. 85% Poly/15% Nylon. Lining is 100% Polyester.
Any suggestions or tips would be so greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance for your time.

Another good trick for things like that is
to buy some cheap fusible backing like Pellon brand at Wal-Mart
cut a oval big enough to cover the design entirely from the back.
A square leaves hard edges so that's why a circular style feels
softer. anyway use you iron and iron it over the embroidery,
it will seal the loose threads and scratchy parts and leave a soft cloth feeling
were it touches the skin, and it's cheap
of course it can be time consuming so you wouldn't do it on everything
but it works especially well on baby clothes!!
Just a little tip I had heard about some time ago
and pass along to those who didn't know.

Thanks everyone....looks like tearaway as I have no poly mesh in stock.

I owe you all....something.

Hey,

I am sewing block letters on a mock turtle neck collar. What backing would you use? I was going to use tear away. Tear away might be too rough.....
