Thanks for all the suggestions. I will look into getting a Janome walking foot to see if that resolves my problem. As for the puckers I did have problems w/the backing...I used spray basting and it did not stick! I have the sewing machine on a 6 foot folding table so I think the weight is supported well enough. I think between the wrong foot and
the non stuck layers I just created my own problems!
Thanks again,
Jenna
