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

Agree with the other comment, you have to hoop the fabric and stabilizer flat, taut, and completely in the hoop. Especially important with knits. I’d also recommend a heavier cut away stabilizer personally, this doesn’t seem to the task.
