I'm a beginner, but I can tell you beyond all doubt that this is my problem. Once I ever get the speed coordinated correctly, I'll be okay. Until then, I am doing wavy line walking foot quilting on a lot of my projects.
Somewhere in a video or blog, (Leah Day, maybe?) I remember seeing that if you make a stack of quilt sandwiches and practice for a few minutes every day, after one month you will see enormous progress. It's something I plan to try.
