MACHINE EMBROIDERY THREAD
Consider the thread you are using and how you will care for the garment after the embroidery is done. Polyester embroidery threads are able to accept bleaching. Rayon threads are more shiny and decorative but not as strong.

STABILIZER
Usually for stretch fabric (like knits) you will use a cut away stabilizer. Since there is a lot of stretch in your fabric you will need a stabilizer that will not stretch in any direction and this is when a good quality cut away stabilizer comes in handy.

Stabilizer Storage
Do you have trouble storing stabilizers? Do you have trouble identifying the type of stabilizers? A solution is to use empty bathroom or paper towel tubes to storage and identify them. Cut the tube lengthwise, insert the stabilizer into the tube, write the type of stabilizer on the tube.
