material puckering

I am having a problem when embroidering dense designs--edges pucker. I changed stabilizers--using cutaway rather than tear away. I have a Designer

  1. I want to embroider some of these designs on sweat shirts and sure don't want them to pucker! Any advice welcomed! Sandy

I had the same problem with material like that, and what I did, was put some iron on interfacing on the back of the material first, then set up for embroidery with the stabilizer in place, and it looked better. give that a try...Rose

I agree with Rose----I always use the sticky back SIA backer and just lay the shirt on it, and mash it on to the sticky sheet........Holds it just great!!
