With the fabric you are getting the hoop tension just right. It is
important not to stretch the garment too much on the hoop at the same time
there must be no slack fabric inside the hoop. If you can mimick the way the
sample fabric is stretched and hooped with the garment you will get the same
effect when you embroidier on both. Also try substituting one of the layers
of cut away with poplin. It also helps to have the design sewing from in out
as in caps.

Good morning all,
I'm having an issue that I wonder if someone could help me with: When sewing
on Blue Generation's new 3/4 sleeve stretch poplin blouse (BG6218), I have
trouble with puckering. The shirt is a cotton/poly/spandex (58% C /39% P /3%
S) blend.
It happens to some degree with every design that I've sewn on this shirt.
I've also seen this puckering on a design sewn by another embroidery shop on
the same shirt.
When I run a test sewout on material with a very similar fabric content it
looks fine, with little puckering. Then run the design on the shirt, and I
get puckering. I reduce the density of the designs as much as possible which
helps on some designs, but it doesn't always work. The same designs sew out
fine on other types of shirts.
I've had to redo some shirts for one customer. She insisted on .5"
lettering, Athletic Flair font, although I advised against lettering that
big.
Of course, she was unhappy with the results, so I changed to Boffo-Dak,but
still am not happy with the results. Again, a test sewout on material with a
very similar fabric content it looks fine, but the actual shirt sewout
puckers a lot. The most recent settings I used were:
Boffo-Dak font
size .5"e
density 4.5 (4.6 didn't cover well enough)
centerwalk 30 underlay
short stitches off
column width 150%
3 pcs 2 oz cutaway backing
Any ideas? Your help would be very much appreciated!
Have a great week!
