Just wanted to let you know that I watched your video and out of all of them I watched, yours was superior. My project turned out perfect with your method. Before that I had destroyed 8 Tee-Shirts. Thank you so much for teaching me the proper way.
+Deborah Shaw I'm glad you enjoyed the video and were able to make a perfect t-shirt. Can I ask what was different with my method than others? I am curious! Please be sure to like and subscribe to our channel. We plan to have more machine embroidery videos in the future.
Hello, You used a different Stabilizer. It was so awesome. Not just that, your explanation was very easy to understand. Step by step you guided me through the process and I was able to do this without a hitch. Thank you so much for being a good teacher. Since I wrote to you I have done six more with ease. In the future I will most differently be watching for your videos. I did like your channel and did subscribe.
+Deborah Shaw Thanks Deborah. It's good to know what we are doing right! Glad to hear you are able to make a bunch of t-shirts! You might enjoy the "In the hoop" projects... they are so much fun! I have a video on them and there are lots of great designers making ITH project patterns.
Hi. Glad you enjoyed our video. I used a Schmetz Embroidery Needle size 90/14. This is the size I generally use for embroidery. Please click the 'Like' button on our video and subscribe to our channel. We will be having more machine embroidery projects coming up. Let me know if there is a technique/project you are interested in!
My sister just sent me some machine embroidered towels, and this video explained the whole process much better than several other ones I watched. I worked in a machine shop with computer-controlled machine tools for years, and I'm fascinated by how the same kind of machine positioning and mapping software technologies are being applied to sewing machines, and are available for use in our own houses! And just as I admire quilters and knitters, I'm impressed by all of you sewing machine enthusiasts out there creating such complex and beautiful patterns on fabric.

Great video and very informative. It has never occurred to me to put the sticky stabilizer on the back. I was taught to hoop it and then use a sharp object to cut it out around the edges. Kudos! One thing, it looks like you might still have the plastic removable film on your hoop.
Wow that is really beautiful. What a lucky little girl that will get that. Great job. Love that stabilizer. I am just beginning to do tshirts and plan on buying that stabilizer

Good job on the video. Your explanation is simple, yet precise. Like another said, I've also messed up t-shirts or onesies and sewed them together. You explained and showed every detail. The only thing I would do in addition to your video, is to use the jumbo clips to hold the fabric out of the way. Thanks for your video.
+jamiekrista I found these on Amazon. www.amazon.com/World-Weidner-Pieces-Quilting-Crafting/dp/B015GESEDO/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1459339488&sr=8-8&keywords=quilting+jumbo+clips. I have very small clips and think I need to get some of these to try the larger ones which would probably work better!
Wife has just ordered one loves her sewing but looks as if it’s going to take a long time to learn she makes horses doorstops flowers Christmas stockings and lots more I hope she likes it and thankyou for the video
+MissK Pyle I thought the same thing when I purchased my other machine. They had options for machines where you could download different stitches! Embroidery machines are a lot of fun though... I have gotten into making "in the hoop" bags and other items which are all stitched by the machine. But, it's hard to say "I made this bag" when the machine does all of the work! :)
Thanks for the very helpful tutorial. I imagine you use white thread only for the bobbin throughout the changes of colour and make sure it is full prior to starting? Would have liked to see the adding of the soft layer to minimize the “roughness” of the stabilizer/embroidery work in the video that you mention at the end of the video .
I use white bobbinfil thread in the bobbin. If it runs out in the middle, the machine will stop and prompt you to fill the bobbin. The soft layer is just a soft iron on fabric that is ironed onto the back side of the t-shirt covering the stitches. Happy Embroidery!

I have THE Dream Machine by Brother and I hoop the sticky-back then secure it on each perimeter with long pins (basically same effect) then to keep the fabric on the outside of the hoop from interloping into the needle bay I use wooden clothes pins to keep the loose fabric from 'falling' into the needle bay. Good video -- thanks.
Great. I was so satisfied to discover I am having trouble centering and hooping on a center line, only to find out later my stich h out is off to the left ot something. And that blind hooping! Eeek, I have to calm myself down trying to do that. I do use fabric markers for cross lines and center. I still was happy that you were struggling with that aspect also. I don’t feel so alone now. I also liked how you can measure hoop edge to fixed point to find out if hoop will be straight. My Biggest annoyance is after washing a few times, the design starts sticking out, curling and just being funky. I would like to know if you have any issues like that, maybe show some examples of hooping, stitching, stabilizers and washing afterwards. Thank you for a nice clear video.
Sheri, thanks for the suggestions. Hooping is a pain! For the washing, it could be that you need more layers of stabilizer. Try floating a cut away stabilizer underneath. If you are stitching a dense pattern you would need more layers of stabilizer.
you have a nice machine, I'm going to buy me a BROTHER SE400 EMBROIDERY SEWING MACHINE IN 2 WKS. STARTING OUT, I'M VERY NEW TO THIS. BY THE WAY NICE T-SHIRT.
very helpful video. thank you! i'm brand new to embroidery. I just did my first test and forgot to seperate front and back of the material. they got stitched together. lol. anyways, great video. thanks again!
+TheRealBusyB I'm glad my video could help! Sorry that you sewed your material together though. Everyone does stuff like that sometimes. Don't forget to subscribe to our channel and click 'like' on our videos.
I enjoyed this - very easy to follow! Thank you! I am new to embroidery, having just bought a new machine .... how do you change thread colors while embroidering?
Norma, congratulations on the purchase of a new embroidery machine! You will have so much fun with it. When you are embroidering, the pattern has stop points between each color. So, when it's done with a color, the machine will stop and prompt you to change to the next color. You take out the current color thread and then thread the new color on the machine. Then press the button and it will start stitching again! Happy Embroidering!
Hi Gayle! I'm glad you enjoyed our video. There are many places where you can purchase designs online. I have a series of videos which show different functions of a Brother Innovis series (www.needlepointers.com/main/youtubecontent.aspx?youtubepageid=98) and it also includes how to download designs and how to copy them to a USB which you may find helpful. We have a collection of links to free machine embroidery designs (www.needlepointers.com/main/showarticles.aspx?navid=1496) that can be downloaded. These designers will also have paid designs you can download. And on our Machine Embroidery Videos page (www.needlepointers.com/main/showarticles.aspx?navid=2981) you will find lots of other tutorials and project ideas you can make with your embroidery machine. Happy Stitching!
Jenny, please go to our page www.needlepointers.com/main/youtubecontent.aspx?youtubepageid=54 on this project and near the end are links to the products I discussed. Thanks for watching our video!
This would depend on your pattern and where you want to place it. This Embroiders Helper may be helpful to you: www.needlepointers.com/main/youtubecontent.aspx?youtubepageid=505
Are there any vertical barriers that can be added to these hoops that would keep the fabric neatly out of the way? Kind of like a small hoop wall that can be inserted once it is attached to the machine.
Hi I wonder if you could help me. I've recently purchased a Futura XL400. When I tried the tutorial design flower, it embroided really fast. However when I tried to do my own design with AutoPunch it stitches really slow even though the speed slider is set to maximum? Thanks.
I have not digitized patterns myself so I cannot give you much advice. I can say that some patterns stitch faster than others, it depends on what it's stitching as to whether the machine can go faster. You should look around in the software though, because maybe there is a speed setting in there which is making it go slower. Also, I know my Brother machine has the same slider as yours but it only is for regular sewing and not for embroidery. The embroidery setting is in a different place, so maybe your machine is similar. Happy Embroidering!
Great vid. In the past my tshirts have puckered a little. I'm looking forward to trying your method. Also sending to my DD -- I think she has same machine. Will any sticky tear a way work? Thank you.
We are glad you liked the video! I have not tried other brands of sticky back stabilizer but I would expect them to work as well. Happy Stitching and thanks for the sub!
+Deanna Tucker I use a regular embroidery needle for the embroidery on t-shirts. Because you use stabilizer on the t-shirt you would want to use the embroidery needle not a ballpoint.
what brand stabalizer and what size and type of needle do you use.,please i am getting ready to start Christmas presents and this was very helpful. Thank you.
Debby, I like to use the Sulky Sticky back stabilizer and Schmetz 90/14 needles. You can find more information and links to these items on this page: www.needlepointers.com/main/youtubecontent.aspx?RUclipspageid=54.
Well, the sticky backed stabilizer is sticky so it would stick to the hoop when you are hooping. I don't want to have to try to get it off afterwards. If you want to float your t-shirt, I would hoop a tear away or cut away stabilizer and put the sticky back on your t-shirt and then float it.
Thank you for ur helpful video, at 12:21 till 12:24 , the machine produce sound from the Fan (( i think )) is that normal, my XV machine make the same sound (( sometimes )) or do i need to oil something ?! ,,, Thank u so much
Mine makes that sound sometimes as it's starting up. I don't think it's a fan. Brother machines cannot be oiled by the user so if your machine is a Brother, it should be taken in for maintenance. I took my machine in recently, but I can't say if I've heard this noise since then. It was much quieter and less noises after the maintenance though! If you have a machine that is self oiling, you usually need to oil those regularly.
yes its Brother dream machine , i did 2.2M stitches , and it makes this sound when start (( sometimes )) but does that sound normal ?! what do u think ? Note: i am from Jordan and we do not have authorized brother dealer, i bought my machine online :) ,,, and i am electrical engineer :) so i use the service manual to oil the machine, however, I do not know if this noise normal or not, what is ur experience?
I'm sorry, but I'm not a technician so I cannot say if it's normal or not. If you are on Facebook, you can join the group here: facebook.com/groups/569033603186275/ which is for Brother machines like yours. You could then search the group to see if someone else answered your question or you can post the question. There are lots of helpful people on the group including technicians.
Thank you so much for your video. I was perplexed how I could embroidery a kid's t-shirt and not sew it to the back. LOL. Now I know! I've also never used stabilizer before so that helped me a lot. Any ideas how to embroider a pocket on a man's shirt?
Lois, I have never embroidered on a pocket before but the only options I can see are to sew through the whole pocket making it unusable or you would have to remove the pocket, embroider it and then sew it back on very carefully. If the pocket is not being used, then embroidering over the pocket and thereby closing it would be just fine.
Sweatshirts and hoodies are also pretty stretchy so I recommend the sticky back stabilizer. You can hoop sweatshirts/hoodies in the same manner as the t-shirt or you can float it.
Marthese, this pattern was completely stitched with thread and no applique. If you are interested in learning how to machine applique, we have this video: ruclips.net/video/QAvUsAjJekk/видео.html.
thank you for taking the time to make this tutorial. i wanted to ask, If I wanted to do a large design on a shirt similar to the gucci kat embroidered shirt could I use this exact embroidery machine?
Thanks for the information. I've been told that to embroider a t-shirt you'll need a tearaway stabilizer under the t-shirt and a washaway stabilizer over it. Do you ever tried this method and come to the conclusion that the sticky tearaway stabilizer alone is the best or would you consider both methods to be succesfull?
Daniela, the sticky tearaway stabilizer is a tearaway stabilizer and I feel it works better than a normal tearaway because it keeps the t-shirt from stretching or moving in the hoop as it's being sewn. If you are sewing a dense pattern, more layers of tearaway (or cutaway) can be floated underneath the hoop to add more stability. There is no need to have a washaway on t-shirts unless they are fluffy or something other than normal t-shirt material. Washaway is used to hold down the pile of a fluffy fabric like a towel. This allows the stitches to stay up above the fabric and not disappear within the fabric. The washaway does not provide any stability once the t-shirt is washed. Happy Sewing!
hi im looking for a sewing machine that can digitally embroid but also be able to handle thicker fabrics my budget is somwhere under 300 what should i do?
Love the video my question is I noticed you used the Sulky Sticky + which is a tear away. I thought you were suppose to use cut away on stretchy materials. I swear this stabilizer has me so confused. I don't know what to use on what.
+Djidade Muhavi I have never had any problems with the tear away stabilizer as it doesn't wash out the same as cut away. For t-shirts though, I think it's important to use the sticky back stabilizer because the t-shirt can stretch and move in the hoop while embroidering. The sticky back keeps this from happening. I don't know if they make sticky back cut away stabilizer. Thank you for your comment and I hope you subscribe to our channel and click like on our video!
You would only take the stabilizer off from around the outside since this is a densely stitched embroidery pattern. If it's an applique pattern, you may want to take the stabilizer out from behind where you apply the fabrics.
I usually purchase t-shirts from Joann Fabrics or Michaels stores. We have some links to t-shirts available on our page here too: www.needlepointers.com/main/youtubecontent.aspx?RUclipsPageID=54
Adan, the machine is programmed with a design and when the designer creates it, they set the colors to use for each section. So, the machine just knows when to stop. I pick the actual thread colors to use and thread them onto the machine after each stop.
For the needle of the machine, if it has ever broken for you, which one would u recommend buying? Because mine broke and I'm not sure what kind of needle to purchase
Hi tinykidvale ! Great question! I prefer to use Schmetz Embroidery needles size 90 /14 when I embroider. I have a link to them near the end of this page: www.needlepointers.com/main/youtubecontent.aspx?youtubepageid=54. Happy Embroidering!
hi... when i embroider direct to a t shirt... it creates holes... i even used 3 plies of tear away stabilizer... i am using innovis nv 800... and new to this embroidery stuff... does the sticky stabilizer help preventing the holes?
There could be many reasons. The shirt could be getting caught and stretched in the stitches causing the holes. The design you are stitching could be very dense and causing the many stitches to create holes. It couldn't hurt to try the sticky back stabilizer and if you have a dense pattern even float another layer of tear-away underneath. Also, you could try a layer of wash away stabilizer on top to give more support during stitching.

What kind of machine can I get pls?
Hi! I have some info on purchasing machines here: www.needlepointers.com/main/youtubecontent.aspx?RUclipsPageID=54.

Thanks for a GREAT video!
Great video thanks
I enjoyed this - very easy to follow! Thank you! I am new to embroidery, having just bought a new machine .... how do you change thread colors while embroidering?
Norma, congratulations on the purchase of a new embroidery machine! You will have so much fun with it. When you are embroidering, the pattern has stop points between each color. So, when it's done with a color, the machine will stop and prompt you to change to the next color. You take out the current color thread and then thread the new color on the machine. Then press the button and it will start stitching again! Happy Embroidering!
Thank you very much!!
Amazing content
Needlepointers,I never dreamed of sticky stabilizer, duh,of course! Thank you😁😁😁🙄🤣🤣🤣🤣
You are welcome! Sticky stabilizer is great for stretchy items!
Love that design, where can you download designs, for NV800E Brother embroidery machine?
Hi Gayle! I'm glad you enjoyed our video. There are many places where you can purchase designs online. I have a series of videos which show different functions of a Brother Innovis series (www.needlepointers.com/main/youtubecontent.aspx?youtubepageid=98) and it also includes how to download designs and how to copy them to a USB which you may find helpful. We have a collection of links to free machine embroidery designs (www.needlepointers.com/main/showarticles.aspx?navid=1496) that can be downloaded. These designers will also have paid designs you can download. And on our Machine Embroidery Videos page (www.needlepointers.com/main/showarticles.aspx?navid=2981) you will find lots of other tutorials and project ideas you can make with your embroidery machine.

Redbird same
Love this video!! Thanks for sharing 💋
Could you share links to the stabilizer and also the iron on material you mentioned for the inside of the shirt? Thanks!!
Jenny, please go to our page www.needlepointers.com/main/youtubecontent.aspx?youtubepageid=54 on this project and near the end are links to the products I discussed. Thanks for watching our video!
Thank you so much, how do I know how far down I need to put the hoop from the neckline?
This would depend on your pattern and where you want to place it. This Embroiders Helper may be helpful to you: www.needlepointers.com/main/youtubecontent.aspx?youtubepageid=505
Are there any vertical barriers that can be added to these hoops that would keep the fabric neatly out of the way? Kind of like a small hoop wall that can be inserted once it is attached to the machine.
I have not heard of one. Using clips and tucking it back works best for me.
Thanks! Very helpful!
Wow! Considering of buying one! What machine do you use ? Thank you for this awesome video!
Hi! I have a Brother Innovis 4000D. Find out more information here: www.needlepointers.com/main/youtubecontent.aspx?youtubepageid=54
Hi, really nice work 🤍 and also wondering where is your blank T-shirt from???
I buy blanks from Joann Fabrics or Michaels Crafts. Watch for a sale to get a good price on them! They usually have many colors.
Hi I wonder if you could help me. I've recently purchased a Futura XL400. When I tried the tutorial design flower, it embroided really fast. However when I tried to do my own design with AutoPunch it stitches really slow even though the speed slider is set to maximum? Thanks.
I have not digitized patterns myself so I cannot give you much advice. I can say that some patterns stitch faster than others, it depends on what it's stitching as to whether the machine can go faster. You should look around in the software though, because maybe there is a speed setting in there which is making it go slower. Also, I know my Brother machine has the same slider as yours but it only is for regular sewing and not for embroidery. The embroidery setting is in a different place, so maybe your machine is similar. Happy Embroidering!
Thanks for the reply. I'll dig deeper and see what I can find!
Great vid. In the past my tshirts have puckered a little. I'm looking forward to trying your method. Also sending to my DD -- I think she has same machine. Will any sticky tear a way work? Thank you.
Am subbing!
We are glad you liked the video! I have not tried other brands of sticky back stabilizer but I would expect them to work as well. Happy Stitching and thanks for the sub!
Thank you great video 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
This is how you make a video !!
Loved your tutorial...do you need a ballpoint needle for the knit tee shirts?
+Deanna Tucker I use a regular embroidery needle for the embroidery on t-shirts. Because you use stabilizer on the t-shirt you would want to use the embroidery needle not a ballpoint.
Hi there, loved the video! What’s the name of the sewing machine you used? The link in your description doesn’t seem to work anymore
Hi Sierra, I have a Brother Innovis 4000D machine. You can read more about it here: www.needlepointers.com/main/youtubecontent.aspx?RUclipsPageID=54
what brand stabalizer and what size and type of needle do you use.,please
i am getting ready to start Christmas presents and this was very helpful. Thank you.
Debby, I like to use the Sulky Sticky back stabilizer and Schmetz 90/14 needles. You can find more information and links to these items on this page: www.needlepointers.com/main/youtubecontent.aspx?RUclipspageid=54.
@@Needlepointers Thanks much!
nice explaination. If using sticky back stabilizer, is there any reason you wouldnt hoop the stabilizer then stick the t-shirt on hoop??
Well, the sticky backed stabilizer is sticky so it would stick to the hoop when you are hooping. I don't want to have to try to get it off afterwards. If you want to float your t-shirt, I would hoop a tear away or cut away stabilizer and put the sticky back on your t-shirt and then float it.
Thank you for ur helpful video, at 12:21 till 12:24 , the machine produce sound from the Fan (( i think )) is that normal, my XV machine make the same sound (( sometimes )) or do i need to oil something ?! ,,, Thank u so much
Mine makes that sound sometimes as it's starting up. I don't think it's a fan. Brother machines cannot be oiled by the user so if your machine is a Brother, it should be taken in for maintenance. I took my machine in recently, but I can't say if I've heard this noise since then. It was much quieter and less noises after the maintenance though! If you have a machine that is self oiling, you usually need to oil those regularly.
yes its Brother dream machine , i did 2.2M stitches , and it makes this sound when start (( sometimes )) but does that sound normal ?! what do u think ?
Note: i am from Jordan and we do not have authorized brother dealer, i bought my machine online :) ,,, and i am electrical engineer :) so i use the service manual to oil the machine, however, I do not know if this noise normal or not, what is ur experience?
I'm sorry, but I'm not a technician so I cannot say if it's normal or not. If you are on Facebook, you can join the group here: facebook.com/groups/569033603186275/ which is for Brother machines like yours. You could then search the group to see if someone else answered your question or you can post the question. There are lots of helpful people on the group including technicians.
Did you use a stretch embroidery needle for this project?
I use a regular embroidery needle usually 90/14. Since there is stabilizer underneath you don't use a stretch needle.
Thank you so much for your video. I was perplexed how I could embroidery a kid's t-shirt and not sew it to the back. LOL. Now I know! I've also never used stabilizer before so that helped me a lot. Any ideas how to embroider a pocket on a man's shirt?
Lois, I have never embroidered on a pocket before but the only options I can see are to sew through the whole pocket making it unusable or you would have to remove the pocket, embroider it and then sew it back on very carefully. If the pocket is not being used, then embroidering over the pocket and thereby closing it would be just fine.
+Needlepointers what machine model are you using?
Nerd Kink -- I have a Brother Innovis 4000D machine.
For sweatshirts/hoodies, what stabilizer would you recommend? Also, is it the same process as embroidering on a t-shirt?
Sweatshirts and hoodies are also pretty stretchy so I recommend the sticky back stabilizer. You can hoop sweatshirts/hoodies in the same manner as the t-shirt or you can float it.
Quick question is the light blue of the pony is that felt or did you use all thread
Iam, it's all thread!
I watched your video with great interest .Did you made appliqué where there was the grey part please ?Thanks for the video .
Marthese, this pattern was completely stitched with thread and no applique. If you are interested in learning how to machine applique, we have this video: ruclips.net/video/QAvUsAjJekk/видео.html.
thank you for taking the time to make this tutorial. i wanted to ask, If I wanted to do a large design on a shirt similar to the gucci kat embroidered shirt could I use this exact embroidery machine?
Thank you I loved your video
Thanks for the information. I've been told that to embroider a t-shirt you'll need a tearaway stabilizer under the t-shirt and a washaway stabilizer over it. Do you ever tried this method and come to the conclusion that the sticky tearaway stabilizer alone is the best or would you consider both methods to be succesfull?
Daniela, the sticky tearaway stabilizer is a tearaway stabilizer and I feel it works better than a normal tearaway because it keeps the t-shirt from stretching or moving in the hoop as it's being sewn. If you are sewing a dense pattern, more layers of tearaway (or cutaway) can be floated underneath the hoop to add more stability. There is no need to have a washaway on t-shirts unless they are fluffy or something other than normal t-shirt material. Washaway is used to hold down the pile of a fluffy fabric like a towel. This allows the stitches to stay up above the fabric and not disappear within the fabric. The washaway does not provide any stability once the t-shirt is washed. Happy Sewing!
@@Needlepointers thank you so much
How does the interfacing hold up in the washing machine??
hi im looking for a sewing machine that can digitally embroid but also be able to handle thicker fabrics my budget is somwhere under 300 what should i do?
Hi Yo !! I do not know if the inexpensive machines < $300 would be able to handle thicker fabrics or not. Please consult the manufacturers.
Love the video my question is I noticed you used the Sulky Sticky + which is a tear away. I thought you were suppose to use cut away on stretchy materials. I swear this stabilizer has me so confused. I don't know what to use on what.
+Djidade Muhavi I have never had any problems with the tear away stabilizer as it doesn't wash out the same as cut away. For t-shirts though, I think it's important to use the sticky back stabilizer because the t-shirt can stretch and move in the hoop while embroidering. The sticky back keeps this from happening. I don't know if they make sticky back cut away stabilizer. Thank you for your comment and I hope you subscribe to our channel and click like on our video!
Question- did you take out the rest of the stabilizer inside the design stitch lines...not just around the outside??
You would only take the stabilizer off from around the outside since this is a densely stitched embroidery pattern. If it's an applique pattern, you may want to take the stabilizer out from behind where you apply the fabrics.
Can you tell me where can I buy the plain T-shirts? They look good quality
I usually purchase t-shirts from Joann Fabrics or Michaels stores. We have some links to t-shirts available on our page here too: www.needlepointers.com/main/youtubecontent.aspx?RUclipsPageID=54
Hola, muy linda la maquina bordadora, no la encuentro por ebay, que piensas de la singer futura quartet? gracias por el video, me encantó...saludos
Sorry, I don't have any info on that machine.
Muchas gracias por contestarme, bendiciones
Best video ever!!
How does the embroidery know which color of thread to use for the design? incredible video btw.
Adan, the machine is programmed with a design and when the designer creates it, they set the colors to use for each section. So, the machine just knows when to stop. I pick the actual thread colors to use and thread them onto the machine after each stop.
For the needle of the machine, if it has ever broken for you, which one would u recommend buying? Because mine broke and I'm not sure what kind of needle to purchase
Hi tinykidvale ! Great question! I prefer to use Schmetz Embroidery needles size 90 /14 when I embroider. I have a link to them near the end of this page: www.needlepointers.com/main/youtubecontent.aspx?youtubepageid=54. Happy Embroidering!
hi... when i embroider direct to a t shirt... it creates holes... i even used 3 plies of tear away stabilizer... i am using innovis nv 800... and new to this embroidery stuff... does the sticky stabilizer help preventing the holes?
There could be many reasons. The shirt could be getting caught and stretched in the stitches causing the holes. The design you are stitching could be very dense and causing the many stitches to create holes. It couldn't hurt to try the sticky back stabilizer and if you have a dense pattern even float another layer of tear-away underneath. Also, you could try a layer of wash away stabilizer on top to give more support during stitching.
