This sounds like a problem with the feed dogs. Try sewing other fabrics. If they pull to one side or another, I would recommend taking the sewing machine back to the dealer for adjustments.
Silky fabrics can "wiggle", but when piecing quilting cottons they should feed evenly with very little help from you.
