That was my concern that if I over did it when I took it off the machine the backing contracting would distort the top, but it worked out OK.
Also the stitching sinks into the pile on the back so if you ever make a mistake you'll have to remove the stitching from the top, which is always my 2nd choice.
It not a very stable backing,but it can be done.
