I've found that leaders and enders, small scraps of fabric that you sew onto or off before your quilting piece, has solved a lot of that problem for me. The enders let me sew off the patchwork piece and it gives the pressure foot a place to rest when you're not sewing.

I learned how to prevent this from Bonnie Hunter in one of her workshops. Put your left index finger on the left side of the pressure foot edge as you near the end of the seam. No more veer. It's automatic for me to do this now. Taking classes and workshops from knowledge quilters is so worth it, I learn little tips like this that improve my piecing.

I have the same problem with my seam being slightly off at the end. I will try putting my finger on the presser foot and see if it helps. This is very frustrating, especially for a beginner trying to learn.

NOT DogHM buttttttttt ............... sometimes those guides come with all the bits and pieces with your sewing machine. Otherwise, you should be able to purchase one at most any shop that sells machines.
