I had this problem, so I tried loosening the tension on the presser foot, and it does help to not push the fabric.. I have had very good luck with this. also pressing your seams opposite directions on each piece makes them lie flat and so it doesnt push the fabric and mess up the seam alliance.. does this make sense?
