Yes a meander...then take a deep breath and establish an easy rhythm...jerky rhythm equals jerky stitching... find that sweet spot for sewing machine speed...once I realized I was trying to sew too fast this technique finally started to click. I'm slowly get more comfortable after each project. On this current project, I found myself speeding up as my confidence improved but I couldn't move the fabric fast enough, so I slowed the machine speed down. Good luck...
