Boxing Shorts - Embroidering Waistband?

[Stitch Up]

Hi guys,

We've been asked to embroider on the elasticated waistband of Boxing shorts! The waist band is approx 8cms high and we need to embroider a name at the front IMOGEN and RIO on the rear. The names will be 6cms high.

The waistband is finely pleated and we're using Wilcom ES3 to create the pattern presently based on Pure Cotton.

Anyone have any tips as I need to do this evening.

Cheers

John

Thanks for the reply.

It seems the general consensus is that it's a PITA

we get client to supply fabric, that we embroider, then get them to stitch onto shorts.
do lots!

Id do it the way Logobear suggested. Stitching direct probably wont work.
