you can put tissue paper between the shirt and the top hoop, cut out a window for the embroidery. Also, try loosening the hoop before you remove it after embroidering.

I have heard steam or spraying water on the area will help. It is a "bruise" caused by the garment fibers being mashed by the hoop. I've never tried doing this though.

We steam every garment that goes out. Some just spritz it with water and the fibers will plump back up again.

I spray the hoop mark with Magic Sizing and give it a light pressing with the iron.
Magic Sizing is a lightweight spray starch.
You find it with the laundry detergents at the grocery store.
I buy mine for $1 per can at the Dollar Store.

Best to but a steamer, I also steam every garment before it leaves the shop. Makes everything look nice and makes customers happy...

Steam! Its easy and quick and doesn't leave a smell like Magic sizing.

I use the magic sizing. The darker the shirt the worse it leaves the mark.
