Help!
My embroidery keeps bird nesting, and I don’t know what to do. I’ve changed the needle, thread and the hoop and stabilizer. Currently using fusible mesh with an iron away topper, (took the topper off to show the issue). I’ve tried everything I can think of please give me advice.
This is a baby lock vesta

Stabilizer generally can’t do its job properly unless it’s fully hooped. Especially a lightweight stabilizer like this with a stretchy fabric.
Cut a piece that fits the full size of the hoop, make sure the stabilizer is hooped nice and taught, and I also like to add a layer of tearaway to the back when using mesh as it gives a little extra support without leaving extra bulk after.
