Are you using the zig zag plate? That could cause the problem. Use the straight stictch , the one with the smaller opening.
Hope this helps

I don't want to get frustrated before I really get started, I'm sure there will be many better reasons to get frustrated down the road with this new undertaking! Thank you in advance for any help anyone can give me.
