You guys are too funny! I actually left the paper on the sticky so that wasn't the issue. The problem is that it is so stiff with the paper making it hard to hoop. Once it's in there, it's there!
I have tried the WSS for labels, but it doesn't seem to hold very well. I had to hoop the ribbon along with the WSS. I did get lots of pulling and shrinking, but I also did not adjust the density of the design.
I will try and figure out how to post the pics.
