I have the same problem, and my machine doesn't do anything but straight stitch. So I bought a new machine, nothing expensive, can't afford that but I would like to be able to go from start to finish. But any large quilts, I've decided I'm sending out to someone with a longarm. Fortunately, there are not a lot of big quilts in the near future.

Opps sorry double posted.
|
Exactly the reason I hand quilt everything. I use my machine for many, many things, but quilting ain't one of 'em!
|
Anything large goes to the longarmer, why put myself thru all that frustration. Gotta love it.
|
I'm a sado- masochist. Enjoying the pain on the receiving side and LOVING to pass the pain to anyone within earshot (or read-shot) lol

99% are given to charty and they love them even with puckers Debbie |

Thank you, I feel better. I'll have a cup of coffee and a cookie, and go at it again. |
I think that you should have a double chocolate brownie and two glasses of wine.

Don't forget the chocolate too!

Have you tried a walking foot? I found that helps tremendously.
