The puckering would be caused by several things - a heavy fabric would help - a wash away top & good cutaway back stabilizer could help eliminate puckers.

thanks, when you say heavy fabric would that mean linen or denin, would like in a light colour.

I've used bottom weight fabric and heavy twill for projects like this. Linen is too light weight in my opinion. Denim should be good, too.

I have used Heat N sta it is fusible tearaway with cotton & linen and it will prevent puckering.you iron it on your fabric, also hoop a stabilizer it works for me..
