I agree. Maybe feed dogs aren't up where they're suppose to be. When was last time you cleaned your machine? Tiniest piece of lint could be causing problem.

It sounds more like a feed problem with the machine.

What weight thread? you have to match your thread.. to your needle.try using a topstitch 90/14 and see how that works.Never start messing with tension until you check the match between your needle and your thread.if your tension is working fine on a sample then there is no problem with Tension.

I've been using the freezer paper piecing method. I NEVER sew through the paper anymore and one pattern can be used multiple times. It on a site called "Twiddletails" or google freezer paper paper piecing. This saves so much time....no removing paper sewn onto fabric. and no making a zillion copies of your template. Try it - I think you'll like it!

When sewing with Batiks I think they recommend a 90/14 sharp needle? The back of the needle package I have says "you get a perfect straight stitch without skipping or puckering." Good luck.

Can you adjust the pressure of your presser foot? That may be what is hanging up on the paper. Or maybe try increasing your stitch length just a little bit and be sure to dampen the paper as you tear it off.

I've never used newsprint...only Carol Doak Foundation paper. Never had a problem....try another paper and see if that is the problem I've even used, in the past, my copy paper......I think it's a 20 weight. Other than being harder to tear off, no problems....

I've started my first paper piecing quilt project and I'm hoping someone here can help me solve a problem. All of my seams are puckering. I am sewing with a Janome 15000, stitch length of 1.5, Aurifil thread, a 70/10 needle, batik fabric, and the pattern is on newsprint paper. I've tried an 11 and 14 needle, reduced the tension all of the way down to -3, and rethreaded my machine and bobbin. Nothing has helped. When I sew a regular seam on a piece of scrap fabric, it's fine. Is it the paper that is causing the problem? Any suggestions?
