What it means

The selected backing/topping/stabilization setup is a poor match for the design and fabric.

Why it matters

Good embroidery depends on stabilization strategy, not only geometry.

Common triggers

  • towel without topping
  • stretch with weak backing

Typical fixes

  • change backing/topping
  • add support layers

Notes

  • Broader than backing alone.
