I. Do not use a hoop, just freehand
WOW! that is awesome :D :D :D Mine always seems to get puckered up from pulling the thread to tight :oops: I guess I need to loosen up :lol:
That's why I don't use a hoop, the background fabric is too taught, and when you release it, it will pucker.
I do pull my applique stitches tightly into the background, but because the background fabric is loose, it won't pucker.
