did that happen with seams pressed to one side or seams pressed open? I can see how it would happen with seams pressed open. But don't see how it would happen otherwise.

I don't like to do a regular SITD because I can't stay in the ditch, but I LOVE the serpentine I programmed into my 6600 and I can go over the ditch with it and not worry about staying in the ditch or about broken seams. Plus I love the way it looks.
