I am getting puckering on high stitch count designs (25k to 30k). What tricks do you use to prevent this puckering? I have tried Weblon from Madiera. Is this considered a No Show nylon mesh? I have tried this with an additional layer of 2.5 ounce or 3 ounce tear away backing.
In another post someone recommended using wax paper between the needle plate and the hoop. Has anyone tried this? It was also stated that "wet-laid" backing will suffice in place of the wax paper to lubricate the needle.
What hooping suggestions do you have. One article I read said get the material "drum tight." Another said not to tighten the screw once the material is hooped - firm but not drum tight.
Thanks for all your input!
