I had a similar problem a while back. I finally figured out that I had different weights of thread on the top and the bobbin. I made two similar tops in a row and only had problems with the second one. My conclusion was the thread difference.

I am making a log cabin on a Pfaff 4.2 with built in walking foot. Some logs are 1 1/2 and some are 2 1/2. Right at seam line where sewed, they look puckered even after pressed well with magic sizing. Any idea as what I could have done wrong? Just spoils the look of the blocks.

There was just a whole discussion on this board regarding this type of adjustment.

Thanks everyone for wonderful tips. I plan to try them all and find one that works. I don't even know if my machine has a pressure foot pressure adjustment and it's only 6:42 AM so too early to call the Pfaff dealer. For those of you who asked, I am cutting my own logs, and using Aurifil 100% cotton thread top and bottom, with the IDT (walking foot) engaged. Thanks for all your help.
