Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I use the leader/ender process suggested and also use a stiletto, you can use a seam ripper for a stiletto if you don't have one.
Some machines do that, others don't. I found my vintage machines are better at pulling the fabric in straight. But then, my 1924 Singer was really pulling the bottom fabric to the right.
If you don't have a stiletto, skip that, you do have a stiletto. Any small dowel will work. I use chopsticks from restaurants. Put it into your pencil sharpener very gently until it has a point as sharp as you like. Not quite sharp to the end is better.
Hold that seam end with the stiletto until the very last thread has exited the needle.

My machine does that also. I just slow right down then use a pickle fork to help that small piece that is left. LOL check your kitchen you might be surprised what you will find to help.
I have the same problem with my seam being slightly off at the end. I will try putting my finger on the presser foot and see if it helps. This is very frustrating, especially for a beginner trying to learn.
DogHouseMom - where did you get that beautifully long seam guide? I love it.

NOT DogHM buttttttttt ............... sometimes those guides come with all the bits and pieces with your sewing machine. Otherwise, you should be able to purchase one at most any shop that sells machines.Originally Posted by Marysewfun
