I'm now experiencing the puckering on the Port Authority T-Shirt. Using the Dakota Collect. Ying/Yang Symbol with writing on top and underneath. I decreased the density and got it to sew out almost completely flat, then washed and dried and now puckered and puffy. If the density is decreased more, then there won't be enough coverage and it's not just the area around the symbol that puffs, all around the letters, too. I've hooped it nice and drum tight. Using that soft cut away backing that won't show through the white shirt. But the design puckered before washing before reducing density. The fill stitches are at an angle and the writing is in the small cp block. Would love to get this right after spending so many hours on the redo of the design, not to mention having sewn out 20 shirts before washing one and finding the puckering reappearing. It's getting personal now. I want to conquer this and won't settle for putting out puckering prod uct! Sorry about the alliteration, got a little carried away in my dilarium! Thanks in Advance.
