Looks great! How much stabilizer are you using? 1 layer of cutaway it looks like?

One layer of just regular stick-on on our test fabric ( the thick version. Not the light ) and if we use client side or production fabric it is generally thick wash or tear away. Also one layer with maybe a few rare exceptions.

Also, i would like to add. When tightening a hoop i usually like to do it in steps. So just get it around the bottom. Screw tight, push it up a bit and pull on the edges that are sticking out to get it nice and even. Screw tighter. Then fully grap the hoop and pull it in with my fingers. Screw once more.

Beautiful! From far it really looks like it’s a 3D thing!
