I starched the shirts heavily before I began. I used adhesive cutaway diagonal mesh, 2 floaters of tearaway and a water soluble stabilizer on top. I thought that would be enough stabilizer so I assumed it was hooping of grain. The second shirt I hooped had an obvious grain, I carefully aligned the verticle and horizontal grain but it still didn't work. I only have a 5"x7" hoop is that my problem? I am stumped and would appreciate any help!!!! Thank you!

Hi Judy,
Maybe ironing on some fusable interfacing to give the fabric more stability? Maybe the design is too dense???

Morning Teri!
I will give it a try, my hubby was teasing me cuz I started a shirt for me (different design) and had no problem with it. I thought about the design being a problem but figured it was probably my ignorance.

Mercy, I just realized I didn't thank you, please forgive and flower to you girl!
LOL... I've had that happen too! My hubby and I have matching dragon shirts and his caused me so much grief. :-) Let me know how it turns out..

I would test that on a like fabric with iron on as Teri suggested. It does sound like an awfull dense design for knit. I will almost always use an iron on stabilizer for knit shirts. *

Thanks Lillian, it was an iron-on mesh i used, just called it the wrong name. Still trying to get all those stabilizer names straight, sure are a slew!

It seems to me that 8,000 stitches in a 2' square design is way too many.
If you email me I will send you two versions I have created, both have way fewer stitches, the largest design is 3.85" square and only has 3,791 stitches

Our dearest Meg to the rescue, she did the same for me with a wolf design I was trying to do & it turned out beautifully. * MEG

Meg is right, too many stitches. Also, for T-shirts, float a heavy cut-away instead of tear-away. Also, don't hoop the shirt, I answered another post about T-shirt problems recently. Check it out.

Wayyy too many stitches! Are you sure this was not meant to be a free standing lace design? Let us know how this turns out for you! Hugs, Marji
