Oh yes I have had that happen because I didn't have the unit pinned well enough. I ended up gathering up some of my background fabric. Have had to take out a couple of inches worth of stitching. Then another time by background folded over underneath and I caught it. Yup more taking out stitches. But at least it is a lot easier than trying to rip out machine stitching. Sometimes puckers are caused by pulling your thread too tight when you take the applique stitch. I have had that happen too.
