It may be a toss-up. I try just to hold it taunt, but not actually stretch the two pieces. You would end up with ruffled seams if the two pieces are stretched.

Do you hold the fabric taut, or leave it loose between the two points where you hold it?

I have yet to have one piece of cloth move farther or faster than the other. I suppose years of sewing clothing has helped with that. I keep in mind that the pressure foot is going to draw the bottom piece faster than the top and so that is why I hold them together.
