Episode 4: Why Is My Embroidery Puckering? (And How to Fix It for Good)

Hope Yoder · Embroidery Profit Podcast with Hope Yoder

Why we picked it

If your designs pucker or look tired after a wash, start here. Hope explains when to use tearaway or cutaway stabilizer, why polyester thread tends to outlast rayon, how often to change needles, and how too much design density can damage a garment. It is a short, plain-English primer for anyone setting up commercial embroidery, and a handy checklist to keep beside the machine.
