Do the test piece and adjust the tension a bit and see if that helps. Go faster and slower and see what happens. Once you have the test right you don't have to rip on your good quilt!
The foot I am using is a regular foot that I would use to straight stitch... I did drop the feed dog, (don't know what you mean about covering) foot clamp lever????? :( On my quilt it works when I do a straight stitch and go slow. I will play with it tonight on a layered test and see how that goes. I am very new at all this so I didn't think before doing, I just went for it, and now I wish I would have put some more planning in it.
