Default Stabilizer question....no more puckering

Stabilizer question....please advise.
i am a newbie to embroidery and practicing with different fabrics and designs. Recently, I practiced on a piece of sample medium weight fabric that Joanne's sells - it's shiny on the back side and looks like linen on the front. The design has over 97,000 stitches. This is my third embroidery ever on my Horizon 12000.
After watching multiple videos, I decided to spray baste medium weight cut away stabilizer to the shiny side of fabric and hooped it securely. No puckering when in hoop. When I removed the hoop it had some puckering. Want to redo this design and now I am thinking that maybe I need two layers of stabilizer and use the baste stitch mode before starting the actual design.
Your thoughts? Thanks.
