I appreciate all the advice. I will definitely rebaste and try again. I used two boards when I basted it so it would be tight. I'll try to tape it down this time and also use the basting spray.
I have a couple of questions. How can I set the pressure on the walking foot? Is the "tension" the same as the "pressure" on the foot? I have the tension set at "1". I have a dial that controls tension, but I don't see any other setting for pressure. Also, how would I control the bobbin tension? My machine is a Brother with a Disney emblem. It has a drop in bobbin with a case that doesn't normally come out. I take the bobbin case out when I clean the lint out. Does the little screw on the bobbin case affect the bobbin tension?
I hope these questions don't sound too dumb. I have gotten some great advice and I appreciate it so much.
