When you have to embroider a logo that is mainly fill stitch on something that is like a light performance T or performance Polo. What is the best way to have it stay nice and flat and not pucker the shirt? Is the key in a nice underlay or are there other factors involved?
Thanks!
Re: Puckering
when i embroider on performance t's i usually use 3 cut away backings and some adhesive to stick the shirt to the backing to prevent puckering. hope this helps
Re: Puckering
underlay is important, i would use a double, but wider fill-stitch underlay. as light of a density as you can get away with. no 'turn-fill' stitches. flat fill or satin only. make sure you hoop the backing with the shirt and don't stretch the shirt out when you hoop it.

Re: Puckering
Make sure your threads tensions are good and adding solvy on top can help.
