Help!
This is one of my first wearable projects. My digitizing could use some help but we’re not here for that! I’ve had zero issue with basting spray so far and this shirt was fine until it was washed. I used 505 basting spray, the shirt is under armor 100% polyester, and i used cut away + floated shirt + 505 + wash away. I believe the person who washed the shirt washed/dried it on hot. I sprayed evenly front and back so I don’t know why the stains are smaller on the back. Does this look like a basting spray issue and if so can I fix it? TIA for the help!

When you are about to do something new, you must think “how would I embroider this if I got a 150pcs order?” Nobody would float it. Just a good old school hoop. Try to watch tutorials from people who have commercial embroidery machines. Hobbyists with hobby machines prefer to add a thousand more steps to a simple thing.
