I changed the tension some, it is not skipping as much. Altho I still went back and sewed over in parts. The fabric itself will help to make this less obvious. And if anyone does ask will say it is part of the overall design. One thing I did find in sewing the tubes together, the first joinings, where it is seam to seam, do not know how else to explain is where this is happening. The two's are joined to each other to have four together, etc, when I tried this and was sewing rounded side to rounded side the sewing was fine. I just wonder if the fact it is not completely flat, again hard to explain, the machine tends to skip. Maybe I will figure this out yet and be happy with the reason it is doing what it is doing. I changed feet to the one suggested with my machine to zig zag. Even though I have had my machine over 7 years I continue to learn.
