Nylon is notorious for slipping. Since you probably can't just embroider the
nylon (no embroidery access or customer/you not interested in opening seam,
stitching and then resewing) you can do a couple of things to help.
Hi Margaret,
You may or may not need backing on the inside, but use a piece of backing on
the front....then tear or cut a window for the design. The backing helps keep
the nylon from slipping. Make sure you've hooped tight (nylon does not stretch)
and you have no puckers in the lining (a pucker in the bottom can cause
misalignments).
Nylon is not too forgiving for holes so a long basting stitch around the
outside of the design would probably not work for this application. Your design
should have at minimum a light underlay. I use a ball point for practically
everything but some may recommend a sharp needle.
Lastly, look at the design. Does it line up on another kind of fabric? If
you've secured the top with backing and made sure the lining is smooth you
should be good to go. Oh, and if you're using auto actifeed, change the base
number to at least a six, going lower may cause more push and pull on the
fabric affecting registration. (Go to Settings, Thread tab).
Hope this helps. Good luck.
