I wanted to embroider a polo shirt to wear at archery club events. My machine does 4” x 4” which is fine for the design I wanted. The challenges (for someone of my limited experience) were A)placement and B)getting a plus-size shirt under the machine without accidentally sewing over some part I didn’t want to sew.
But I did it! I took some good advice & printed the design, pinned it on the shirt and then floated it on the stabilizer. (Yes, I removed the paper, before I started to sew.) I took care to bunch up the parts that were not getting sewn, so they were not under the needle. Here it is;

Looks very good - is everyone else going to want one now?

I’ll know after I wear it at the club. :sew:

Well done, that looks very smart. :)

Great stuff... well done.

That's looking good, no puckering at all, well done.

Thanks for the encouraging words. I have since bought some big hair clips & a riser for the machine. (See machine accessories for pics.) I wanted to test them out, so I did this pajama top.
Jesse Bear is modeling it.

Having a bit more fun, I embroidered a stegosaurus on this polo shirt. Blank polos are boring.

Tempted to buy an embroidery machine? They are fun, though it’s one more thing to take up space & spend money on.

I found a polo shirt in my closet, that managed to escape the clutches of my embroidery machine. We can’t have that. Here it is, modeled by Wally Llama.

A little explanation for the choice; My last name is SIlverman. Until I became a teacher, I thought it was a pretty easy name to spell or say. I quickly discovered all the ways students could get it wrong (e.g. Silverstein, Goldman, etc.). My usual reminder was, “It’s like the superhero. Look, up in the sky! It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s SILVER MAN!” They usually got it right, after that.
