the stabilizer I used was Totally Stable iron on tear away by Sulky and then floated HTCW easy stitch underneath. looks like i'll have to find something better for the stabilizer that adheres to the project. maybe i didn't have it hooped tight enough either. Thanks for the help-i've not really had issues with this before and wasn't sure what i did wrong.
I always use a iron-on cut-away stabilizer for high count or dense design. "totally stable" makes me laugh, because of it being a tear-away product. If you can tear away the stabilizer.....it is not meant for high count designs.
