Maybe these aren't the "right" answers, but they're working for me on similar
material (linen tablecloths).
First, check your stitch density. I generally use the Fabric Adjust settings
in Design Shop.
Second, UNDERLAY! I usually use an edge walk if I'm worried about puckering,
as it seems to stabilize the fabric best.
Third, Hooping/Stabilizing. Make sure that you're hooping nice and tight with
no wrinkles. You may need to experiment with backing. We've been using 2.5oz
tearaway but I'm not completely happy with it. I like sticky backing a bit
better but I've heard that it can be not so great for the machine.
Fourth, check the width of your stitches. I find I have a worse problem with
wrinkles if my satin stitches get longer than .4 inches.
I still have to iron the bejeebers out of it but those things help. I've also
found that our iron doesn't make enough steam to really flatten out those
wrinkles. I got a spray bottle and give the area a light spritz (not soaking
but definitely damp) and then iron it.
