I've started using a Q-Snap frame for the first time. Though it's easier to hold for longer stitching sessions and the tension is great, I'm having some issues with completed stitches getting quite squished (even when I remember to un-hoop between sessions!). Does anyone have any tips on how to not end up with squished stitches? As well, any tips on how to revive said squished stitches? I'm working on some DMC 18-count Aida that I was trying to use up (I'm never getting that again - I've been spoiled by the Avlea kits!).

Try stitching free hand; no hoop, no frame. It is so easy once you get used to it and allows you to use the sewing method rather than the poke and pull. I haven’t used a hoop in 40 years.
