That's one reason why I have virtually stopped wearing T-Shirts, at least I do a very careful check of the seams for the shoulders. I have put lots of shirts back on the rack without even trying them on because I could tell from mere touch that this would be a very problematic item that I would not be comfortable in!Uta Lenkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15641327859827054439noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-224755524646372838.post-77847344270018558862017-06-02T00:32:00.322+02:002017-06-02T00:32:00.322+02:00Part of the scratchiness is because the tags are c...Part of the scratchiness is because the tags are cut out with a heated stencil (or whatever you might call it) the heat seals the tag and keeps it from fraying. But at the same time, because it is synthetic, creates a hard edge.<br />For some things, you can take an emery board or fine sandpaper and 'rough up' the edge, which actually makes it a bit fluffy and less scratchy.<br />I do this with bra fastenings. The edges on those are not nice. :-(<br />But I don't like these tags either and have random holes in the backs of things! I can hide it with my hair, but you have a shorter cut. <br />I thought some t-shirts now with the label info screen printed was a good change. But you wash it a couple times and the printing gets rough because it is a little dimensional. and that you can't get off the fabric!<br />Sandy<br />Hope the teaching situation gets sorted very soon!Sandyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04978514536651961190noreply@blogger.com
