What type of jacket? I do hundreds of letterman's jackets a year, mostly 
stitching through the lining. The fabric is very stable so I never use any 
backing. I do make sure the hoop is very tight; the weight of the jacket can 
cause the hoop to pop off and after even a few thousand stitches, that can be a 
very tough fix. Many of the designs I use run over 100k, not counting the 
lettering on top and bottom. If you're doing such a jacket, hoop slightly 
loose, pull the fabric to ensure it's taut (pull the hoop up slightly on each 
side to do this....both left and right from the topside--flip the jacket and do 
the same with the bottom side with the lining). Then tighten the screw, as they 
say, girl tight with a screw driver.

Good Luck.

Dorothy
