Your stitch count is not too high nor dense One layer of a wet laid 2 oz cutaway maybe 2.5 will suffice This would at least help to eliminate stabilizing as your problem which may lie elsewhere (digitizing- tensions - tension when hooping) Others may help you better w these But at least you know it will not be the stabilizer Fred "So you guys have tossed a lot of tips out above but I think I have put everything out on the table now for you to see what I am doing and my results...so based on these any suggestions?
