Oh wow, thanks for the tip. I will remember that for next time. Perhaps that is adding to my problem. Hmm!

One more thing I'm getting out of this thread. I probably need to begin quilting with my middle finger instead of my index finger. That was always the most comfortable for me, and I do switch off now and then, but perhaps I should perfect that middle finger thing.
