    No offense to you but if they're going to spend $50.00 for a shirt, it needs to be done by a professional embroiderer who has the right software and tech savvy to handle it. And also the company's permission for the logo.

    One of my embroidery machines is a brother. The first time I tried to put Mickey Mouse on a shirt, it was upside down. So it takes times to get through the learning curve!!! Practice!

    I would send the shirts to professional as others have suggested. I too have the same machine and love it. I practiced and practiced on it for ages. I kept all the sample designs I made and use them in projects.

    It takes patience and practice and lots of both but it is worth it.

    Although it would be fun to do this for your daughter, it surely does not sound like a job for a first project. "What Linnie said"

    I agree with everyone else. I'd take it to a professional. Even for those of us who have done it and can digitize, there is so much involved. Once you get the design,you have to pick out the right stabilizer, find some similar fabric to do test samples on to make sure you get a good match, you have to do a few samples to make sure each one is right. Even then it could get messed up. I wouldn't do it on $50 shirts even for my daughter, you might up going in the hole when you have to replace those shirts.
