You are absolutely right - the presser foot isn't coming down from the seam...right after, the tail end of the foot is still on the seam, holding the front end up, but the machine is sewing beyond the seam at that point. The foot isn't meeting the fabric until the back of the foot is past the seam. I've adjusted the height, but maybe I need to go lower. Thanks!
Have you tried adjusting the pressure on the presser foot? It's that screw on top of the machine that is right over the foot. Turn it to the left, counterclockwise, to increase the pressure a bit and see if that helps.
