I have a friend who bought around a shirt that he wants a name put on it. I have never embroidered on anything as soft and fine as this shirt, i put a pin into the shirt where he wanted the name and when i took the pin out there were two holes which could "scratch" out but gave me reason for concern.

Hi Cuties, I've embroided several baby blanket that are microfiber. They stitched out beautifully! I hooped the blankets, no hoop burn....just beautiful.<br />Good Luck! For the top I used WSS and on the bottom, tear away...

Thank you

I've never stitched on a microfiber shirt, but I would treat it like silk and also use a ballpoint needle as maryjo suggested. Floriani has a nice reference guide for stabilizer. You don't need to use their product, although they are very good.

Thank you for the link :)

Is it a knit or woven fabric? I would use an iron on cutaway stabilizer and a ballpoint needle just in case.

Thank you

I also would love to know the answer to this. I wonder if a couple of layers of tear away stabilizer would help. Any chance he would buy a second shirt for you to experiment on?

Thank you, but he paid AU$45.00, so no experimentung :(

I have done a bunch of microfiber towels. Be sure to use a water soluble tear away topping as you would use with any towel and you will be fine. Good luck!!
