With that many shirts, I would get a professional to do it. They use a seam ripper to remove the label.

Yes, it is permissible to do so.

But, you must make sure that you follow the relabeling laws.

If you have previous experiences with sewing machines, then you could do it yourself.

But 600 is quite a bit, especially if your new. How much are you willing to shell out to have someone else do it for you?
But say you get a quote of 25 cents per label, your still looking at $150 : o

When they use a seam ripper can you tell that a label was once there or does it look really good?

Thanks

If done properly, it will look as if it were the original label.

That's good to know. We were worried about how it might look. Thanks

How much is a good seam ripper? I looked for some on the internet and they are all under $10. Just want to make sure I get the right equipment. Thanks

Yeah, they're under $10.

But, it will do you know good if you don't know how to sew up the place where you take the label from.
