Stitches bunching at beginning of chain piecing
I need some help! I'm TRYING to do chain piecing and am getting very frustrated (because I have to over 300 of these LOL)
I have a brand new needle, the machine is running in tip top condition, it's clean, the threads are threaded properly, tension is perfect, AND I'm even holding the first threads at the beginning of the "chain".
BUT I keep getting this every third or fourth square and it's driving me nuts. The only way I can not get it is to "drag" the previous square as I start the new one, but then I get a huge gap of thread, and when I learned how to do this, there's no a huge gap.
I am sewing on my beloved Designer Topaz 30 ... any hints?
