I might have it emb by a professional at first till you get more familiar with the machine and all about embroidery. I used to be a professional embroider. I did caskets for a regional casket company here in NY. The shirts are expensive and you need too know how to back the shirts with the proper backing and possibly topping, like a wash away or heat away to dissolve the topping. If it's a heavy thread count, it could really dissolve the shirt. You need to get it professionally digitized, and that could cost you. I'd go to a professional shop for these, and work your way up to it by emb on plain cotton and get your placement correct too. is it a left or right or both on the front. is it on the back and where to place it. is it on the sleeve also. different backing for different fabrics and applications. I to have the PE770. it was all I could afford last year. Good luck.
