Spreadshirt design guidelines dictate that all lines and elements need to be a thickness of at least 1.5mm. They suggest you can verify this by:
using a 1.5mm dot (punctilio) to mouse over the thinnest parts of your
design and 1.0mm circle to mouse over this space between the lines.
How can I achieve this in Illustrator CS6 Mac?
Additional info: I also need to do this with expanded type, not just single paths and shapes.

Stroke the shape typing in 1.5mm:
It will convert it to the correct pt size based on your ppi:
As far as the space between lines.. take the ellipse tool and click on the page without drawing an ellipse. You'll get a panel for entering exact values:
Enter in your 1mm values and you're left with a circle you can use to drag between thin sections to spot-check.
However it would seem for modern digital tools it might be easier to change your units in the preferences to mm and then draw a line between thin parts checking that way. Just undo the line or never release it.
