Same problem. I had so many tucks on the back of the first quilt I tried to fmq on my little Singer, that I just ripped it out and hand quilted it ALL! Only took me about TWO YEARS! lol (I am getting ready to start PRACTICING again and have decided the thing to do is use the gloves with the grippies and do mini quilts until I get used to it) Let's give it a try! hummmmmm
