mdwsta4 Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 (edited) I like to think I know the answer to this question, but... is there any way to reduce pulls in a jersey? Example photo is 2.0 air knit material with an outline after the crest was removed. This is after a wash and there's some lint making the lines more pronounced, but still. I'd love it if I could get them less noticeable. Edited May 19, 2018 by mdwsta4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted May 19, 2018 Report Share Posted May 19, 2018 I assume you already tried pressing the hell out of it with a steam iron? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TMLFAN Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 Have you tried a fabric shaver? I have this one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted May 20, 2018 Report Share Posted May 20, 2018 Yes that’s the next step after ironing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did try using an iron and it did help. Might try again using more pressure On 5/19/2018 at 8:07 PM, TMLFAN said: Have you tried a fabric shaver? I have not tried a fabric shaver although I did jokingly consider using my Mach 3 razor! We'll see how another round or two of heat pressing goes. Then I might look into picking up a fabric shaver.

mfitz804 Posted May 22, 2018 Report Share Posted May 22, 2018 A Mach 3 would actually work but you would need a very steady hand. I’ve heard of people using one (not for jerseys, pulling on other fabrics), but never tried one, nor would I. Fabric shaver was $7.99 at Target, it works pretty well.

mdwsta4 Posted May 23, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2018 Appreciate the help everyone!! Jerseys are near perfect now. Used the above recommended fabric shaver, iron, and gave them another wash to try and help with some of the lint. Black outline after initial crest removal This photo makes a few places look like there's a minor outline, but I think that's mostly lint. In person it's nearly impossible to see White outline was more pronounced Probably need to press the right side of the jersey (left side in photo) once more, but it's not really that bad; especially when worn over pads which is what this jersey is used for Really happy with these results so thank you!
