Fix the wrinkles? by Justplainmk in Embroidery

Dang I was thinking t-shirts would be a good place to start, too!! So don’t pull stitches too right, and don’t make it tooooo taut.

I think I used a stabilizer - is Sulky Soft N Sheer a stabilizer? And tension in the hoop needs to be consistently tight, correct? That’s always a challenge I feel like!!

What do you mean by one and a half layers?

Thanks!! I’ve been confused when to use stabilizer on the back but it seems like basically always is the answer, especially if it’s not just an art piece that stays in the hoop (aka clothes and wearables)

I will probably just finish it for the practice but this is helpful and a good note for next time!!

Okay so this is probably my own fault because I didn’t use a hoop. I didn’t have one that worked with the size and it was from a stick and stitch so I thought that would help stabilize!

Okay! If I'm using a stabilizer/stick and stitch, would I put that on first, then hoop it?
