Use 2 layers of WSS Stabilizer...One on your hoop and then use scraps just where the ribbon is going. That way you can use several layers. That should really help. I save all my scraps for projects like this. Thank you so much for posting the photo!

3rd........ I'd give you a 1st for this . Love the Metalic touch. Well done to both. Pauline Sydney Australia :)
Looks great and so does the stitching on the ribbon. By the way, what width is the ribbon that you used? :-)
1.5" and it worked well. I wish though that there was a way to keep it from puckering. I did use spray glue to attach it to a water soluble backer. Oh well, it isn't like someone is going to use it a lot.
It's a beautiful ribbon especially in the gold thread you used.
The letters on the ribbons sure stitched out nicely and look great with that design.
