Simple fix for the veer. Put your index finger on the left side of the pressure foot (bottom) as you near the end of the seam. The seam will not go astray.

This is the best tip EVER! I tried it and it works every time. Thanks Onebyone.

That is what I do and it works perfectly every time for me.

If you don't want to use a stiletto try pining the very end and keep the pin in until you are right there, slowly stitching up to it, stop, pull the pin, finish. Things are much more accurate when you take the time to pin, even the small pieces can benifits by a pin or two

I'm trying to envision using a finger on the left side of the presser foot, I don't see why that would help. Guess I'll have to try it. I like using a leader, hadn't thought of using an ender. Duh.
