This is my third embroidery ever on my Horizon 12000.
After watching multiple videos, I decided to spray baste medium weight cut away stabilizer to the shiny side of fabric and hooped it securely. No puckering when in hoop. When I removed the hoop it had some puckering. Want to redo this design and now I am thinking that maybe I need two layers of stabilizer and use the baste stitch mode before starting the actual design.
Your thoughts? Thanks.
What about increasing the size a little. Doe this make it more dense? Gale
