For such a simple thing as a t-shirt, there sure is a lot of fancy stuff to describe blank t-shirts out there. Is there any thing special I have to look for when purchasing t-shirts for custom embroidery or are all t-shirts suitable for embroidery? This may be a stupid question. But arent all t-shirts pre shrunk? I thought they all started out as a Raw , natural colour shirt then they were coloured by repeatedly dying them and drying them to give them the colour. Sometimes dyed and dried 15 to 20 times the darker they get. Therefore they shrank in the process. Or are they made from coloured thread or cloth?
Interesting to know.
I only stitch on t-shirts if the customer absolutely won't go any other direction.
Even the pre-shrunk will shrink over time and makes the design look like crud! I have a couple of samples of what the t-shirt will look like over time. This generally detours them to rethinking what they want done. If it is simple enough, we might cut it in vinyl, or then have gone to polos.
