Re: t-shirt hopping Q you can put tissue paper between the shirt and the top hoop, cut out a window for the embroidery. Also, try loosening the hoop before you remove it after embroidering.

Re: t-shirt hopping Q I have heard steam or spraying water on the area will help. It is a "bruise" caused by the garment fibers being mashed by the hoop. I've never tried doing this though.

Re: t-shirt hopping Q We steam every garment that goes out. Some just spritz it with water and the fibers will plump back up again.

Re: t-shirt hopping Q I spray the hoop mark with Magic Sizing and give it a light pressing with the iron.
Magic Sizing is a lightweight spray starch.
You find it with the laundry detergents at the grocery store.
I buy mine for $1 per can at the Dollar Store.

Re: t-shirt hopping Q Best to but a steamer, I also steam every garment before it leaves the shop. Makes everything look nice and makes customers happy...

Re: t-shirt hopping Q I use the magic sizing. The darker the shirt the worse it leaves the mark.
