Toverly has a good suggestion.
I think it is the tension of the fabric with the needle in it. When you turn or stop or pivot, you are putting pressure on the fabric. Sometimes you can't even see that it is stretched. So when I stop
with the needle down and re-position the body of the quilt, I make sure the part that is under the needle is not stretching and has plenty of play before before lifting the needle again.
