Hello,
I have just had the WORST time trying to embroidery on t-shirt type
material--I ended up with holes in two of them, so I tossed the project. I
use a Janome 9700, I stabilized the fabtric with Florianai (whatever) iron
on, tear away. The fabric pulled and I ended up with a needle full of
Bobbin thread underneath the plate. It looked like a little furry animal
when I pulled the plug out from behind the bobbin case. The bobbin thread
was in shreds--lots of little pieces sticking out all over--and my bobbin
thread is ruined--its now about 1/2 loose.
Any suggestions GREATLY appreciated.
Jon

I also ruined a couple of T-shirts when I first started doing
machine embroidery. Do not use _tear-away_ stabilizer on knits!
And ALWAYS use a *new* ball-point needle. Really, it's that
simple. Also, be careful of extremely dense designs, or those
which go over the same area multiple times.
Use a good quality fusible *cut-away* stabilizer. I like
Floriani's "No show Fusible Mesh":

I should add that I also discovered Sulky's Solvy water soluble
stabilizer works very well *on top* of the fabric when doing
knits (in addition to a good tear-away mesh below). They have
two weights.

another idea
My experienece with nesting thread has usually been a
result of upper tension and/or bobbin problems. It
might help to check these out first. I also really
like to use prewound bobbins. They do a better job
for me, really sew out nice. Any fabric that tends to
pull, like t-shirt material I use an iron on
stabilizer. If possible, before you try your garment
get a scrap of material to try, maybe an old t-shirt.
The best stabilizer for me is freezer paper, the kind
you can buy at Walmart. A huge roll is about 5.00. I
use a hot iron and iorn it enough just to make it
stick. I use this on just about everything and the
price is right. It peels off when you are done. I hope
this helps.

You need to stabilize with an iron maybe more than once..do two layers
of fairly thing something crosswise to each other, overlapping. AND I
would check all routs for both top and bobbin thread..you may have
lint in the tracking devices. I will also ask on my other sewing list
for embroidery and see what the comment is.
