The feed dogs will help distribute the material more evenly. Also, be sure you are not holding your material too tightly or pulling it too tightly, remember you are only guiding the material through.
I also have a plastic seam guide that I can screw on the machine so that it helps to keep a scant 1/4".
Good luck.
My method described perfectly!
