I haven't seen your design, but is it possible to do it in two hoopings? Maybe the bottom part first and then the lettering at the top separate? Or, maybe the design is just a tad to tall. Maybe just a quarter inch shorter would solve some of the problems. Perhaps slowing down the machine would avoid other problems. If the machine is not trying to move the heavy jacket so fast, maybe it would sew better. Or you could combine part embroidery, part patch. It is wonderful to have a niche. But you had better be able to do these designs without so much trouble or it will be a constant nightmare!
