I'm hand-making t-shirts,what do i do?

Question

I'm in band and were making t-shirts for our section.

so far, we have the t-shirts and we cut out the fabric letters. what is the best way to keep the letters on the shirt, even after washing them?

please help!

Answer 1

Sewing them on is the best way.

You can get some fabric adhesive also at Jo-Ann Fabrics or Michaels.

Answer 2

Your best idea would be to simply sew them on. Also I have heard of sticky sticker thing you put on your letters than attach them on and iron them. Either way, sewings your best idea. Get your school sewing club to do it!

Answer 3

you would probably have to stich them on. If you want an alternative, you can use a cardboard stencil and spray paint

Answer 4

Allene's No Sew Glue works Great ;)))

Answer 5

I would tack them on with fabric glue and once it dries then run the letters through on the sewing machine with a zig zag stitch.

Answer 6

a sewing machine or a needle and thread........  it migth be easier to just go to a shirt printer for this, or have them embroidered....  i dont know if the "band" image till fit with what youre making...  well, depends on the band, but when it comes to looking good and professional, that wont work.. ive been starting a clothing line, and i can easily see what a shirt means and says about the people in them..  you wanna be taken seriously you need to go pro, but if your just in it for fun, then a needle and thread, some fabric glue, and a lot of time.

Answer 7

Sew them on, and then they won't come off.
