  • T-shirt shrinkage

    I have an order for 12 PC61 Ts fro Sanmar, 100% cotton. Does anyone know if shrinkage is a problem? The design is a L chest and a back design that I have made to fit into the 24 X 24 hoop. Arched text on top, straight text on bottom and a big pig in the center. I have the pig well underlayed, so it sews out well, but I am worried about shrinkage after washing.

    We use PC61's quite often and the best I can tell you is that they will shrink, but no more than any other 6.1 oz T-shirt out there, There are manufactured by Hanes for San Mar so there colors are almost an identical match and the type of fabric is virtualy the same. the differences are usually color and the cut specs that San Mar created for them but Shrinkage shouldn't be any more than 2" in length and 1" in width, but that only works if everyone washes them the same.Sounds like a lot of embroidery for a T-shirt
    but thats my screenprint mindset shining through!! : )

    Good Luck
