sparklebat asked: Does anyone know how to do a long satin stitch without it getting all loose and distorted looking when I take it out of the embroidery hoop? I've been experimenting a lot with it but I just can't seem to figure it out!

A stabiliser could help.

Maybe someone else will know more and tell our friend here?
