I wasn't happy with how the car shirts I made for a friend turned out. I got the pattern from a different site than I typically use, and it stitched out very differently. When it tacks down the applique pieces, this pattern uses a very narrow, very tight zig-zag stitch and it pretty much just pulled the threads from the edge of the woven fabric I used. This time, I used fabric that won't unravel and used a more substantial stabilizer on the applique pieces and on the back of the shirt. It seemed to help and this time, they stitched out much better. I normally would not have chosen the bright orange and lime green to go with the brick red shirts, but they really turned out cute. I hope her boys like their new and improved shirts.
