Can you embroider onto the pocket of t-shirts?
Unfortunately we are not able to embroider on the pocket of a t-shirt. While we typically don't embroider on t-shirts to begin with, we certainly can't with a pocket or it would sew it shut. Embroidery requires a hoop to be placed behind the embroidery area location to tighten up the fabric and allow the needle to penetrate the fabric. The thread attaches to the backing behind the fabric to keep the stitching in tact on top of the fabric. A hoop is larger than the pocket itself and what calls the needle to go through the top of the pocket all the way to the inside of the shirt sewing the pocket shut.
The only way feasible to do this would be to pull the pocket off of the shirt and embroider on it while it is unattached to the shirt. Then the pocket would have to be sewn back onto the t-shirt. This is a lot of work labor and cost for a small added benefit. Not to mention it would be very difficult and a lot of shirts would be ruined trying to pull the pocket off without tearing the t-shirt.
Tonight a long story short, we just don't embroider onto the pocket of t-shirts. Until the process changes or the technology advances this will be our stance for embroidery onto the pocket of t-shirts.
