Something to just tack the fabric to the backing outside the area of the design. You'd have to pick it out later, of course, which is a pain in the neck. I do this sometimes when I'm improvising with my hooping. It seems to help quite a bit. Maybe test out on one of the already puckered up shirts to see if it will leave stitch marks though! =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
