Well said, Tartan! That's exacty what I do. Remember that there is a stretchy side and a super stretchy side with all knits. I put a lengthwise grain to a cross grain (stretchy to super stretchy) and that helps with stability too. If one layer of stabiliser is not enough, iron another one onto it. There are different grades (thicknesses). It's not expensive and it will make a BIG difference to the amount of stretch you have to deal with. HTH Capri
