+Tighten the frame. Be warned that the backing and fabric tends to bulge a bit near the frame screw, this can be mostly avoided by not tightening the frame too much.
+Note that tightening the fabric too much will cause the embroidery to //shrink//, and tightening too little will cause it to //bulge//. When hooping the fabric and backing, aim for the backing to be tight enough to produce a drum-sound when tapping while the fabric is neither stretched nor bunched up. This should produce the best results.
