I checked for any indication that the "eyelash" problem I'm having is related to this, but it doesn't seem to be...
I am still a little unclear on this though, and hoping you can explain a little further. When doing a design that includes loops, circles, feathers, etc. I seems to me that for part of the design the machine would be going left to right, and the other part (half of a circle for instance), I would be going right to left regardless of which direction I am traveling over-all.
Thanks
