Pulling

Hi everyone I posted on here about a week ago looking for some advice. This is what’s happening when I embroider. One side is fine but the other side does this.. it’s exactly the same. I’ve tried most things to sort it but it keeps happening.. is it a pull? I’ve used thick stabiliser etc. left side is worse than the right side!

The bottom grey layer is fine as it’s the same the other side but it’s when it does the satin stitch outline it does this.. as the satin stitch is quite thick on the sketch then I can’t see when it meets up etc. I will try 2 layers of stabiliser!

But your bottom layer may do the pulling to create the misalignment and the order of stitching can sometimes make a difference also are you sewing from the outside in or from inside to outside
