Should you get hoop burn on a garment, after removing the hoops, spray the area lightly with Magic Sizing--you find it with spray starches in the laundry section of WalMart or a grocery store. It relaxes the fabric and hoop burn marks disappear. Don't use it on satin, however, or any fabric that will water spot.

As for the knit shirts, I don't stretch or pull them when I hoop but when learning to hoop, I did a time or two and just used a spray bottle of "hot" water to mist the garment then let it dry. It shrank back to "normal" and we embroideried it then.
