Blackwork T-shirt question

Posted by Keith Barber on May 19, 2008, 11:47 pm

Has anyone ever done blackwork on t-shirt material? I thought about using
waste canvas, but was wondering if anyone had tips or suggestions.

Cotton knit, as in a t-shirt, is pretty stretchy - so, personally, I'd use
the waste canvas. Or stabilise under where you will be stitching. It's an
interesting idea.

DMC France has a new product, Toile Magic (Magic Fabric): a special
waste canvas that can be washed away at 40°C.

It would be interesting to know whether DMC Usa will sell it or not.
