Yes, that is right, often times the embroidery will outlast the item that was embroidered. This is the reason that we do not recommend embroidering on t-shirts. We say this because the t-shirts are not made of the best material to embroider on and many of them have been dyed over and over to get to the right color. Each time they are dyed the material becomes a little bit weaker. For this simple reason, the embroidery will outlast the t-shirt.

This can also be the case for cheaper items that may be purchased at discount warehouses and then brought to us to embroider on. These items are not made for the decoration industry and therefore sometimes do not last as long. I have had customers that have purchased their items from their favorite warehouse store and brought the shirts to me to embroider on. They had to continue doing that every few months because the shirts just did not last. Sometime it is better to spend the extra money on nice shirts and shirts that are made specifically for the decoration industry so that they last longer.

Now I am not saying that Kristie's Kreations embroidered shirts are always going to be perfect! Any item is going to wear when it is washed and worn over and over again. I just think that most of my items are going to last much longer than others.
