Iron on tear away stabilizer. If it is extremely stretchy use cut away.

If you don't have iron on, I use the spray adhesive. And I agree with mpo14011, cut away for anything stretchy. Both will help prevent the fabric from bunching up.

Carla, I always use a med or heavy weight cut-away stabilizer attached with Termporary Adhesive and if the design is very dense, I add a tear a-way floated underneath that. I also always use WSS on top to keep the design from being buried into the fibers. Then to finish it, I use a Cover-The-Back fabric that just irons on and keeps all from being scratchy. ;)

I agree with Jerilyn, it's the same as I do and it is always a good result. Good luck Carla

I do it the same was as Jrob - and I do not hoop my shirt only my stabilizer then use the spray adhesive to stick shirt to stabilizer. I can get my shirt exactly positioned that way. Then I pin around the edge of the hoop catching the shirt and stabilizer. Make sure the pins are out of your stitching area! My machine does not have a running basting stitch. (This is just the way I need to do it!!) Sue
