This one looks much better!! My suggestion is to iron a lightweight fusible interfacing on your fabric (assuming you will not "see and use" the back of this) before you start. I have better luck when I have enough or more than enough stabilizer. I hoop the heaviest weight one I can, after fusing the interfacing, then I baste my fabric onto the stabilizer (do not hoop because I am too heavy handed and I torque the fabric!) and then I float another piece of stabilizer under my hoop. I have embroidered some extremely dense designs ( like Beatrix Potter's Peter Rabbit set ) onto quilting cotton and have not had ANY" puckering........Good luck!!
