Thanks , Hugs, Mary

I agree that it looks like a stabilizer problem, if your fabric is thin I would try a iron on tearaway. The iron on gives your fabric much more stability than just using glue. I use it on almost everything I do now and have no more issues or problems with fabric puckering or stretching. Mine is a very thin stabilizer so hooping is not a problem either. Good luck on your next one.

Thank you Michelle, have never really done that much embroidery, so my stabilizers have really only been tear away . will order the sulky iron on stabilizer and try it again. Appreciate your advice. You make such nice embroideries, love your bapron series. Hugs, Mary

Thank you Kim, when you say it is a stabilizer issue, I used a tear away stabiiizer, should I use another kind? My fabric is quite thin, forgot to mention this as well. Thanks for you comment.
317583I was just at a seminar on stabilizers etc and the teacher said that these pukers from not treating your fabric like it will be treated when finished. So if you are going to wash it later, wash it first and if you are going to press with steam, do it before you embroidery so it gets the shrinkage out before stitching.

Thank you for sharing this information Will try it again, wash the fabric, steam press the stabilizer and fabric before I embroider, will show my next one next week. Thank you again :-)

Did you put the saying together yourself or was it a bought design?
Could be you reduced the design or letters too much.
Also the stabilizer you used shrunk if you steam pressed it.
What I am trying to say is it might not be a machine tension problem.

It was a design I had, not sure where I got it from but I did not change the size or anything, first time I tried it, I steamed iron the fabric but not the stabilizer. Will try it again, Thank you for your comment, appreciate it. :-)
