Default Embroidery for Infant Tees - Itchy or not?

Hi,

I'm considering having infant tees embroidered, but have heard that the embroidery can be somewhat itchy for babies, is there a way I can minimize this possibility?

The work I hope to have done is fairly simple (not very much detailed stitching), but it does run accross the width of the chest area - about 5" WIDTH and 1"HEIGHT.

Any advise or opinions would be hugely appreciated.

Thanks!

Any good embroidery shop will know to iron on a soft backing to cover the embroidery and thread tails. We do it all of the time.

When we produce clothing for babies, we don't use embroidery. We usually talk clients out of it because it is itchy, even with the backing. On accessories are ok, but not on clothing close the skin.

I use the floriani dreamweave , but as far as I know you can also use a lightweight fusible interfacing in a pinch. I've never tried anything from Gunold, but I'm sure they have similar things. Once on, it does not come off, and I think I've heard somewhere that the fusible interfacing may not wear as well as the floriane does. I have a daughter who is ADHD and VERY particular with how things feel. She has no complaints so far(well, at least on the embroidery part)
