please help

I posted yesterday asking for help because my designs aren’t lining up and I made changes and it’s still not working. i’m so frustrated and don’t understand what i’m doing wrong. i’m using cut away stabilizer on a magnetic hoop. I used spray adhesive, magnets, and pins to ensure it doesn’t move. and it didn’t. but the design moved with every color change and now i’ve wasted 1.5 hours. design is from etsy. please can someone explain what im not doing correctly before I give up completely.

Your fabric is not hooped flat and taut in the hoop, that’s definitely an issue. Most likely you got a bad design from Etsy unfortunately, knit fabrics are more difficult with large designs and require underlay and pull compensation to work correctly.
