Are you pulling or allowing the weight of the quit to pull on it as the machine stitches? That can be a problem too.
I think you may be on to something. It seems to be in one particular direction. I try not to let it pull, but really all I have is an inexpensive brother machine sitting on a desk. Still, I've quilted other things that didn't do this. The only other thing is this is the only time I've used a polyester batting. Would that matter. I don't think I like it anyway and won't use one again.
