Morning,

Does anyone have any tricks to stop puckering on shirts?

I'm sewing a left chest design that is about 2x4" and solid filled with 
a double satin trim.
I'm using 15cm plastic hoops and have tried double 2oz backing, wrapping 
the hoops, tissue paper topping and different tension on the hoop.
When I sew it on dress shirts and more resently a poplin jacket with a 
light lining I get puckering around the edges.
Some customers wouldn't care, but this client is very picky about puckering.

Also, the tech is coming up today to look at the machine that went up in 
smoke.   I'll e-mail the results tomorrow.

Mike
