Sewing 2 squares together
So here"s my problem, I'm trying to sew 2 squares together on all 4 sides but no matter how much I pin, the squares don't line up and shift around. I've tried cutting the squares together but it still doesn't help. Any ideas?

I'm wondering what type(s) of fabrics you are seaming. Quilting cotton shouldn't shift much. If you are trying to sew together 2 pieces of cotton and they are shifting that much, you should try easing up on your presser foot pressure. if your fabrics are knits or something with a nap, you need lots of pins or try dots of school glue.
The other thing I'm wondering is what project you are making where you need to sew all 4 sides together!

Like PaperPrincess, I think your pressure foot pressure may be too tight so that the top fabric is getting held up and the bottom piece is being moved by the feed dogs. I sew lots of squares together and then cut a diagonal X across them to get 4 HST pieces.
