40 pieces, choir stoles in white satin.
Need two or 3 color logo, printed/embroidered/heat pressed?
Light orange, dark orange and maybe black if 3 colors.
I was looking into heat pressing, but afraid of satin material.
Picture is a black stole, but it will be white.
What would be your suggestion
Thanks in advance

Step 1 is to throw one through the oven at Plastisol temps and see if it melts or shrinks, if it doesn't then treat them like t-shirts and you're off to the races. If it does shrink or melt, then I'd probably explore embroidery.

I would check into embroidery. My guess is they are two ply and you might have issues. . .

I would embroider for the simple reason it would just look better

Dennis we did some stoles for a group out here and we just hooped sticky back into our largest hoop (whatever comes with the pr-650) and then I pulled the backing off in the area that was to hold the stole... Dulled up the tack as it was TOO strong, and dropped them on. The hoops made it actually really easy to line it up straight and consistent. They came out great and had us do a few more for other members of the graduating class.
Let me know if you need me to explain any better as I'm not sure it translated well in text.

this might be slightly off topic, but we have recently been embellishing putting green material (weird I know) and after testing about a dozen ways of getting the design onto the material, we figured out using a plastisol transfer with a 100lb cardstock masking (we cut a square the size of the logo) worked the best. The material melts at 290-300, and the transfer fails under 320, so we use 330 and mask and it works. If embroidery doesnt work, though I think that is the best option, you could try something like masking with cardstock...as ghetto as that sounds...if melting is a concern.

We were going to use embroidered patches with a low melt adhesive. Heat press them and be done.
But....... the customer pulled out in the last minute

We did something like this for graduating students..looks sort of like the sash they wear....we embroidered.

I wanted to do it, but they did not like the idea of stitches being visible on the back.

We have embroidered these for college graduations with great success.
