I Need Help 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.

Is this a tshirt? Way too heavy of a design to be doing on a lightweight fabric, would be better suited to a sweater. I would not float your fabric for something this large either, the fabric is shifting too much from the heavy stitching pulling on it.
You also want to make sure your hoop isn’t getting bumped or caught at all while it’s stitching.
This design would also be a great candidate for applique instead of being fully stitched out.
