I really think I have a lemon of a machine. It has caused me nothing but grief. Sucking the joy out of quilting. There are days I'm ready to throw it out the window. today is one of them.
The problem you are having.....I have it all the time with polyester backing. I don't often buy cotton batting.
My straight quilting goes great as long as I don't try to cross my previous quilting.
Just yesterday, a friend that learned of my dilemma, suggested that the problem may be the quilting foot...it may not be working quite right. I plan to buy a new walking foot to test this theory.
