Sulky ActionBack is our newest stabilizer specifically for these kinds of fabric. I used it on a spandex type fabric for yoga pants and embroidered both legs with metallic thread. Zero puckers and very comfortable against the skin. Depending on your design density and quality, you could float a layer of Tear-Easy, at the first sign of any drawing up or pucker. Much depends on the quality of the material and the design itself. But I suspect ActionBack will be sufficient.

Soft 'n Sheer is more suited for t-shirt type knits and sweatshirts. ActionBack was specifically developed for today's new sport type fabrics.
