Best stabilizer for this job?

I am making a Christmas shirt using 100% lightweight wolven cotton shirting.. I want to embroider a fairly large design thru only one layer of this light shirting, on the yoke, before I construct the garment. Because of how this particular shirt is made, the backside of the embroidery will be captive between 2 layers of shirting on the finished garment, and will not be seen from the inside at all, so the appearance of the backside of the embrodiery is not particularly important, other than I would prefer it to not be too bulky so that it will not appear lumpy from the finished side.

What would you use? a cut-away or a tear-away, or?

I would use a good quality tear-away. I save my good cut-away for knits for the most part. Since you're making the shirt, why not test a couple of stabilizers on scraps and embroider a small design, just to be sure you get the look you want?

I am going to do a test sew out (or two) before I actually put the yoke in the machine. (I always do tests).. I just wanted to see if I my thoughts were in line with others.. I figured I would try a tear away first (I have some good sulky here), and you have more or less confirmed my opinion.

Thank you.
