Blank selection guide
Choosing the right blank for embroidery
Three blanks — each optimized for a different production goal. Here's what separates them and when to use each.
Comfort Colors
1717 / 1567
Fabric
100% ring-spun cotton
Dyeing
Garment-dyed
Stitch stability: tightly twisted ring-spun fibers resist shifting under tight 2–3 hour stitch patterns.
Vintage look: embroidery thread stands out beautifully against the slightly washed, textured garment-dyed surface.
Ideal for detailed pet/family portraits and multi-color vintage designs.
Gildan
5000 / 18500
T-shirt fabric
100% open-end cotton
Fleece fabric
50% cotton / 50% poly
Polyester benefit: the 50/50 fleece blend is incredibly forgiving — operators can push production speeds without worrying about fabric bunching under the hoop.
Fast hooping: flat, uniform surface allows predictable stabilizer choices and consistent results.
The go-to blank for simple corporate logos and unlocking bulk discount tiers (15%–25% off).
MH Signature
Luxury streetwear blank
Fabric
80% cotton / 20% poly
Weight
560g (~16.5 oz/yd²)
Maximum stitch density: at 560g, this fabric acts like a canvas anchor — handles heavy, layered, multi-directional fill stitches (8"–10" back embroidery) with zero puckering.
Premium golden ratio: 80% cotton face delivers a high-end look and feel, while the 20% polyester core locks in structural integrity.
The garment won't shrink unevenly around the embroidery zone after washing — the design stays perfectly flat for the life of the garment.
Best for luxury streetwear drops and ultra-dense oversized back embroidery pieces.
