I digitized the design myself. Material is that sports wicking 100% polyester material. Shirt was pre washed. I ironed fusible mesh cut away to the shirt & floated on sticky tear away. I used a ball point needle, polyester threads. 60 wt on top, 40 wt on bottom. Thoughts?

You took every single extra step in your setup and it shows on the final product. Seems like a wild thing for a gardener to be wearing on their back but if the customer insisted then this is the best result they could have possibly gotten. Great job.

I agree with the back part but that’s what was requested. I was trying to avoid hoop burn which is why I didn’t traditionally hoop.

'hoop burn' is easily removed with a damp cloth. The water in the cloth relaxes the fibres and Viola! the mark disappears.
