Adhesives are always great but most of us don't allow them enough time to
dry thoroughly.  Some folks experience the adhesive transferring onto the
needles or bobbin case/hook area over time.  To answer your question, it
wouldn't hurt to try.  I would focus more on the adhesive being between the
top layer of cut-away and the stretch fabric.  You know, proper underlay can
also be a big help because it would serve the same purpose as the adhesive
in bonding the fabric to the backing prior to stitching so that the fabric
takes on the stability of the backing.
        I was also thinking about you puckering issue.  Be sure to verify that 
your
material thickness is not too low.  With your experience, I'm sure you've
covered this area.  Just make sure the bobbin tension is not too tight as
well.

Mr. Ed,

Would it help to spray that kk200 adhesive to the cutaway before hooping?
And then stick another piece of cutaway under that.
