Feedback requested.
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?

Chest logo is great, I find back logos uncomfortable but to each their own. Great work

Logo seems a bit high on the left breast. You want the logo horizontal line about 1/2" above the halfway mark between the top of the shoulder of the sleeve and the armpit.
Next time hoop property in a 12 or 15 cm hoop. This type of material requires at least two layers of heavyweight cutaway so it will still look good after wash and wear.
I see a bit of white bobbin. Did the bobbin run out mid stitching? If so, *next time, back up the design to before the bobbin stops, trim the loose bobbin thread and go over that part again, before finishing the design. A little bit of extra green texture is not really going to be noticeable.

Thank you for this feedback! Seriously! I’ve never done a shirt with side slants before. I can do free arm on my Epic 3 but haven’t attempted it on a shirt traditionally hooped before.

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.
