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.
I have more than one walking foot. 2 different widths. They both do the same thing. I'm not even going to try to quilt it in the opposite direction. Once I force myself to do the last 4 lines of stitching, I'm calling it done.
At this point I'm afraid to try anything I care about for fear some new weird thing would start happening with the machine or the results. It's one thing to have these things happen to donation quilts, but another entirely for it to happen on a big project.
