I've got 2 quilts on the go right now.

My son's is quilted and binding started, just the hand sewing left to do. Went along beautifully!

The quilt for my parents...not so well. I used the same pattern for both. Different fabrics of course! The big difference is the batting. DS's was the White and Warm brand off the bolt. My parents, I went with a thicker batt. I did try a sample when I got it home to be sure it fit under my foot, no problem right?! I started to quilt my parent's sandwich today and frustration set in. I have no control of the quilt/machine due to the thickness. Now picking stitches because I'm not happy(thank goodness it was only the first line of stitching!)

Any suggestions on how to deal with this? Should I just go and get different batt? I'm already using grip gloves....ugh :-(
