I consider eyelashes to be improperly formed stitches & they are one of the very few things I was taught to pull out.
I took the opposite approach of most here. Instead of slowing down my hands, I speed up the speed pedal going around a curve. Either way works -- just have to match your hands and the machine speed. I just couldn't figure out how to get nice smooth tight curves (e.g. 1/2" feather tip) while moving my machine slowly. On long winding curves, I agree that slow is better. For tighter curves, if you can't get them the right shape while moving slow, try pressing the speed pedal just a little bit more as you go around those curves & then let up again to slow down hands & foot as you come out of the curve.
PS -- For the batting ... what kind did you use? Some batts have a top & a bottom side. You might check to see if that's indicated on the packaging.
