I have the same machine and love it. I lengthen my stitch and use tension on both sides and I don't seem to have much of a problem. I have done all sizes on it. I mainly use safety pins to hold mine together while quilting.

Ann L,
By tension on both sides of fabric... do you mean to the right and left of the needle or tension to the front and back of the needle?
what stitich do you use. I was just using the first stitch on the machine....?
thanks

Make sure your IDT is engaged and make sure that the foot you are using has a slot in the back to allow the IDT to meet the fabric. I hope I made that clear. If you need a picture of the foot to use , I can send that too. Just let me know. I know it is frustrating when you get a new machine and can't get it to behave. When you get used to the 7570, you will LOVE it!!!

yes i have the "O" foot which is standard and the idt engaged. I've had it about a month but just started machine quilting. i did the other couple pieces of fabric for this project with SID foot on a quilted block and it was fine. I didn't turn the tension down that much. I thought below 3 would be a mess. I can try down to 1.5 like someone said also. I also just read somewhere about using a Straight Stitch plate might help i did purchase one but didn't put it on.
Those of you with the 7570 which stitch are you using on your machine? is it the very first stitch or another one? if so let me know please.
