Got my first product samples from #Fourthwall and... I'm conflicted.

The color is great, the embroidered logo quality seems good, but then I looked on the inside. That "patch" or whatever looks so amateur! And it gives zero confidence in the garment's durability. Could it survive a wash?

It's forgivable w/ the beanie, as that patch thing isn't against your skin & it may not get washed frequently. It's more annoying with the t-shirt. Am I being too harsh? No experience with embroidery...

@killyourfm that's perfectly normal. It's a backing fabric used to prevent stretching or moving while the machine punches 1000s of holes on the garment. I would've done the embroidered design (stitch types and angles) differently, but they look cool!

@Willdrick Appreciate the input! Does that backing fabric ever come off? I've had people say it should be water soluble but it's firmly on there still after soaking in water overnight (nor can it easily tear off).

@killyourfm by the looks of it, it's probably the "normal" stabilizer, not water soluble nor tearaway. Worst case scenario, buyers that find it irritating (doubt it) will have to carefully trim around the logo or tear it in small sections, but it shouldn't be a problem!

Here's how tearaway looks like

@killyourfm Bonus tidbit: you can use InkScape + InkStitch for CnC embroidery
