Hello! Please do check out my Hooping/Hoopless Blog . I hope you will enjoy and get lots of info from it. Don't forget to do a "test sewout" because that will show issues before you do your project, that is a real money saver. There is so much to learn about ME. After 7 years, I learn new...

Hi Virginia, You are correct,puckering is one of the biggest problems a lot of ME folk complain about. It can be caused by several things, 1. that you have under stabilized the fabric 2. that your desired design is very stitch intensive and too much for the fabric, 3. that when you are hooping your project...

Hi Mary, I also do a lot of quilting. Joan is right with the different weights with muslin. If you want to continue to use up what you have ,Joan suggested that you use water soluble stabilizer on top, that will help. But I think what you could do is maybe double the fabric,use a heavy stabilizer on...

Hi Jo, I always use the water soluable on top of any design,it helps lay the stitches on top of the fabric a bit more.there are many different weights of that as well,the one I use is the one at ATG .So far it is the best I have used,it is fairly economical,and it has never failed me yet. By using the...

I can not stress enough the fact ALWAYS,ALWAYS ,ALWAYS do test sew outs for any type of fabric. It is the best way to tell what stabilizers you need for that particular item.Some may need two,three even more .I never do any embroidery without WSS on the top.It just makes every project come out nicer...

My goodness,I just realized you had two types of fabric you are using here.Silly me !I would say again for the cotton,what are you using for stabilizer's? Cotton is a very light weight fabric,so dense stitches are likely to pucker it. I just thought of something else as well,did you re-size the design...

Well, I guess my first question ,is what are you using for stabilizers? Are you hooping it or are you going outside the hoop? If it were me I would use a sticky on the hoop,then an iron on,light tack tear away on the back of the sweatshirt.Then lay it on the sticky,and embroider it out side the hoop...

I love working outside the hoop! For me it is so much better with my arther and I noticed that since I can never decide how tight is tight with the hoop screws my projects come out sew much better now. I am looking forward to your blog I just know you will have some wonderful ideas! Thanks everyone for...

Thank you for sharing this idea with us! I too have a hard time with those screws. While I seldom hoop my actual fabric, that hooping is vital to a project. I have had some slippage in the past from the hoop becoming dislodged. That is how I came to sewing outside the hoop. See my blog, The Avid Embroidered...
