It is, maybe your needle is not centered to make the stitch equal a quarter inch seam? On one of my machines, I gave to remember to reset that needle hen I turn it. On as default is not what I want.......as far as the tail ends veering off, buy a stiletto or buy shishkabob sticks, cut in half and use the pointed end as a stiletto...better than metal stiletto --- if needle hits wood not as damaging as metal..by holding the edge as it is sewed it will keep it straight. Also, slow down your speed, maybe you are racing, slow and easy is more accurate.
