Hi, I've wanted to learn how to quilt for a while and finally got started. My first project is a 9 block baby quilt with applique in each block, the blocks separated with sashing. The piecing and applique all went well. Now I've been trying to quilt the individual blocks, with the quilting in the ditch method, just the 4 sides of each of the blocks. The problem is that two of the seams look good in the back, the other two (the ones running parallel to the selvage) are puckered. I am sewing on a Janome DC2010, using a walking foot, the fabric is JoAnn's calico, the batting Warm & Natural. What puzzles me so much is that the puckering happens only sewing in one direction. Does anyone have an idea what the problem could be? I don't have a digital camera right now, so I can't attach a picture.

Help would be much appreciated!
