T shirt


For the first time ever I embroidered on a t shirt. The design is from Urban Threads and I am quite happy with it. But What do I do on the back? It must be quite uncomfortable and scratchy? Do I iron some of the thin Vilene over it?

The shirt looks great. I like to use fusible nylon tricot on the back side, it's soft and doesn't affect the drape of the t-shirt and best of all it stays on through wash after wash.

You have done a GREAT job. So many stitches on a t-shirt. Well done. I also iron on a kind of knit-interfacing. By it from Sweden. www.bibbistextil.se . Now she don´t post international anymore. Have to know someone in Sweden

This is superb! I love the colours as well - yes, I always wonder too
what to do with the in(backside) of the design also in order to
avoid thread to get loose and to make sure to stabilize in a soft way.
Therefore I also started to iron on some light material

I use a knit interface by Pellon that I get from Joann's. It is soft and it is knit so it moves better with the shirt.

I use this too and usually buy it with my 40% off weekly ad. So it's really inexpensive, works great and stays on.

Very nice! I love the design. Yes I would iron some kind of interfacing on the back of it. Having the stitches constantly rubbing on the skin is aggravating. Below I included a link on Vilene what to use so you don't get the edge lines it can cause on some fabrics. Again very nice job! I love it!
