Default T Shirt Side Seams?

Is it possible to embroider down the side seam of a t shirt from the arm pit down to the top of the bottom hem? The embroidery would be about 1/2" wide and would look like lettering?

Peace
Breezy

I would think the answer would be yes, but I'm not sure it would be real easy. I would think vinyl would be easier to do and more comfotable to wear.Embroidery would not be real comfortable rubbing on your side, IMHO ...... JB

I'm curious as to why you want to put an embroidered design under the arm pit. The seam is not a problem you just need to make sure it's flat and all laying one direction before you start the embroidery. I would use a sticky backing to hold seam in place. I've embroidered over jean leg seams without any problem and denim fabric is a lot thicker than t-shirt fabric, just slow your machine.

It would not be the easiest job, or the cheapest. Most embroiderers don't have hoops that long. The job may require double hooping. Just a guess.
