Cute bow. You could also use basting stitches instead of hooping. *4U
Looks cute. I also use spray adhesive if the item is thick or to small to get the hoop into it
I wouldn't have hooped this sweatshirt at all. Actually I don't usually hoop anything that small or thick. I use spray adhesive or sticky stabilizer. Hoop the stabilizer, lay the item on top of your hoop and line it up. Then use a basting stitch to help hold it in place. It looks really cute, but I don't envy you getting it hooped.
