I read all the suggestions, but one idea was missed. Your needle might have a burr. Even with all the quality controls needle companies have (and they take pride in the product they make) sometimes you get a bad needle. Try replacing it? I find a bad needle about once every few years. I just accept it as a cost of doing business. Also, make a sample sandwich to test on, until it works right. (I make my test samples all 12.5" in certain colors, so I can use them in QAG)
