How to hand embroider on a T-shirt
T-shirts are made from stretchy fabric. You're going to need stabilizer or interfacing.
There are two kinds to choose from
- woven ( it has the structure and you should place it exactly as the structure of your t-shirt fabric
- non-woven (it doesn't have a structure)
Also, they can be fusible, water soluble and tear away.
For fusible stabilizer: put it on the back of your t-shirt and iron it on.
For the water-soluble and tear away: pit it on the back of your t-shirt and stitch it on.
After you embroidery your design you won't be able to remove fusible stabilizer.
But you can remove water soluble stabilizer with water and tear away the other kind. It'll stay only under your embroidered design.
