Hi all,
I like to see how problems were resolved, so I thought I would post what I
finally did with this. First of all, thanks for all the suggestions.
As much as I liked the pins idea, I decided that it wouldn't work as well for
clothing and I really needed a generally applicable solution.
Solution: I wrapped the four straight edges of the outside hoop ring with @1"
strips of muslin, taping it with masking tape at the beginning and the end and
trying to keep the thickness uniform. I used muslin instead of stabilizer
because mine are silicone treated. I thought they might be too slick and the
tape might not stick (poet).
I was able to go back to the lighter weight (more appropriate) stabilizer,
increase the stitch density (but not as much as original), and go back to
acti-feed. I did adjust my bobbin tension, which was a tad bit too tight.
Sorry for the long-winded post. I hope this helps someone else.
Mary
