Design is a "dream catcher" 69,000 stitches with fill for feathers at 4.2, stitch length 40, underlay is a fill @40.0, stitch length 20. On my Amaya, I have the Material Thickness at 8. For columns (there are some rope ties around the ring) I have the Amaya column feed at 37; they are satin stitches at 4.0 density and I am getting some puckering at those also. The ring itself is causing minor puckering and I am wondering if I should divide the element and not sew it in a circle?. I am using Auto Actifeed but have the lower limit at 8.0. Should I be on Standard and adjust settings differently? The fabric is bonded imitation leather. It is pretty thick. For backing I am spray adhering cutaway. I maybe should use two layers. Hooping in a jacket back hoop and it just won't get drum tight. Thanks for any suggestions.

I can't be much help with the feed settings but do have a suggestion for getting the tightest hooping possible with the jacket back hoop. I have wrapped mine with athletic tape - the stretchy, spongey stuff that sticks to itself without adhesive. It helps with slippage along the long edges where the hoop tends not to grip very tightly. I also use a high quality cutaway that I can really pull tightly and then pin it to the athletic tape after hooping as tightly as I can. -
Thanks so much; will try that. twinsmomComment
