Glad you posed the question, I've had the same problem on different machines and sometimes increasing the presser foot pressure works and sometimes it doesn't. My 1/4 inch seam is seldom right unless I am pulling it against the guide. Thanks for the ideas to try.

I bought a used high end Elna and it "swam" so bad, I immediately took it in for repair. $300 later, I don't think it's that much better. I use my 1956 Singer 99K for my piecing and LOVE it. I've heard that the newer machines don't push the fabric through like the old ones.
