Good point - it doesn't have to happen on a curve, but it does happen there. I don't drop the dogs - I'm using an open toed darning foot and leave the dogs up. What's driving me crazy is I've done ... 5 - 6 table toppers and 3 lap quilts with NO trouble then on the last two ... many problems. Perhaps getting overconfident and moving fab too fast??? Slow hands; fast machine is what I'm aiming at.
Your post made me think - my previous projects were mainly meander, though I did one with a flower. This time I'm doing leaves with loops in between the leaves - perhaps this is more direction changes? Have to think on that one. The flowers went off without a hitch, but were more predictable movements....
Thanks for the input. I've put it all on time out and am doing some piecing - then I'll try again.
