According to SID info., if you stitch exactly on your stitches, it weakens the seamline stitching; therefore the stitches SHOULD be just to the right of the seam. My SID foot works that way. (IMO, without a SID foot/metal guide, it would be virtually impossible to stitch a straight line next to the seamline.) If you have the SID foot and still sew crookedly, one thing you need to be careful about is sewing over "lumps" where two seams meet. Those lumps can cause your guide and stitching to go wonky. Also, when using the SID foot, the narrowest zigzag stitch works well.

I have a HuskyStar and since I am selling my longarm I will be using it when I am not hand quilting.
Thinking about getting a Grace frame later on.

LOLO too funny.
I find that a glass or 2 or 3 of wine helps calms my nerves too. Ok, so the 3rd one is just for me, but the first 2 help with the nerves!

Don't get upset if all is not perfect. You will enjoy it all the more. Strive for your best but don't sweat the small stuff.
