The level of detail is rarely as impressive as some other shops I've been around. You really need a keen eye for quality when it comes to custom tshirts. Wash tests, cure tests, and even the quality of the garment itself is huge. Great article though, its quite a task to encompass years of study and knowledge on the subject in one wuick guide, but you've achieved that with flying colors. Excellent guide. If I were to pick out one shop that I have had the best experiences with it would be <a href="http://goaye.com" rel="nofollow">American Youth Enterprise</a>. They offer mom and pop like customer service and they really give you all the info you need to get a headstart on your custom t-shirt project. They even have a great fundraising program for youths that is really making a difference locally and nationwide. I've ordered before from CustomInk and Myntra but the service was low-key (just a number) and the quality was nothing to write home about. Wow, long post. Anyway, those are my two cents and I hope I can help anyone out there. Keep up the good work! Also! A how-to guide for embroidery and working with digitizers would be an excellent subject IMO.
