No, I have never had that problem, but I would suggest that you not take out all the pins. But use an interesting piece of fabric with a theme and add to the backing. Save a lot of work and adds a message to the user. Example below:
Use as your signature:
In a straight line along the addition embroider the following: ficticious names used.
(To: Evelyn, my granddaughter with much love. From: Grandma. Every stitch is filled with love, hope and prosperity.)
Or anything you would like to stitch.
