If not, you may wish to try one, it also helps to tame the slip and you can regularly inspect the back but with a hoop, things are pretty smooth. You are also dealing with considerably more loft than you are used to which also gives the impression that it is going to pucker.
Yes, I am using a hoop and you're right, I do check the back frequently. I didn't realize a wool batt would be so much loftier than cotton. Now I know that, and indeed from experience!
