Maybe try again, and see if it feels less comfortable for you too?
I have moved around my machine to get around this. Leave the quilt in the machine, needle down. Move to the side of the machine and continue so you are now sewing to the side instead of going back wards, if that makes sense?
i really want to try it this way, next time i do a baby quilt. I just have to put a post it note on the machine, so i don't forget!
i also have trouble going backwards..so i try not to..
