I didn't use a stabilizer. Didn't know you needed to. I can see now where you will need to. On the other hand, I showed this to a non quilter at work and she didn't see all the puckering like we do. LOL. My choices are to totally redo the cats by hand (don't have as much puckering and it would be less painful than redoing it by machine) or leave it and hope for the best, or throw it out and chalk it up to a learning experience.
