. The biggest tip that worked for me is to "look where you are going" when you are stitching. Once you do that you'll find you are much more successful. Also, I found, and still do, that fabric handling control takes practice and discipline. I.e. Don't release control of your fabric until the needle stops stitching and have it stop in the needle down position if possible. When you start to stitch, make sure you are not placing pressure on the fabric against the needle, otherwise, when you begin to stitch, you will get a little jog in your line of stitching. Those are the big ones for me...maybe it will help you.
