I think this is a factor with all machines that do zz,or embroidery stitches, because the needle position isn't fixed.
Yes, MaryKatherine, this is the right way to do it.
Look and see if the fabric moves when you raise the needle.
If it does, you can then adjust the position before the needle goes back in. I can't figure out how a back stitch would help anything. If the needle is in the wrong place, only moving the fabric will solve that.
