Most stock designs(such as Dakota) have very bad underlay and it wouldn't surprised me this would happen. Also make sure you are using the smallest hoop for that design. For example, if the design is 2.5" round, use a 5" hoop. Most towels, use solvy and a sheet or two or tearaway backing. Also make sure there is no slack in the towel after you hoop it. =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
