    Hi,

    This would be my first time posting here. My name is Eric, and I'm a professional wrestler on the independent level. Anyone who is fimiliar with wrestling knows about all the crazy costumes and tights, and all that good stuff--I recently bought a sewing machine to begin to sew my own custom wrestling gear and I'm looking for some help on some aspects.

    Can anyone please explain how the lettering on these tights are done? It's so perfect and symmetrical:

    Also, how is this side design done? Everything's so perfect. Is there a computer program I need, becuase I highly doubt this is all hand drawn, that seems to be impossible:

    Thank you very, very, very much to whoever can help me!

    ~ Eric

    dude Id love to help you but I had the same problem with making sleeves and leggings. I think what youl have to do is keep making it. Like the same pattern over and over till you get exaxtly, Ive tried pinning the stuff to a dummy and then pinning and adjusting,
    I think thats what you need do you have a sowing dummy?

    im sorry after re-reading your post, are you trying to stitch the logo onto your outfit?
    Sometihing like that is like patch embrordary work and then its stitched onto a the outfit, I think you can get a patch maker to make your logo however big you want it, and then you can stitch it from there onto your outfit, that will take some of the work out of you doing it all yourself. Though I know you want to make stuff all by yourself, but sometimes thats not all 100% possable.

    All my gear at my house is all stiched, no embroidery, I'm guessing there's either some type of machine that prints it on the fabric, or something like that, then you cut it appropriatly. Thanks for the reply.

    Roflcopter. Uh. Have you tried going on Wikihow or Googling these types of things? Maybe try to find a forum that deals with sewing?

    If you're not particularly experienced with your sewing machine (are you experienced? (woo! Hendrix lolreference!)), I suggest taking it to a tailor. Make a design yourself, show it to a tailor guy, and ask him/her to do it for you, or ask him/her where to go to get that kind of thing done.

    Hope it helps.
