the serpentine stitch is on my built in my machine and is a pretty curved stitch that really looks nice also the ladder stitch straight stitch in the ditch then jumps over on each side much easier than just a straight stitch in the ditch check on your decorative stitches

Try using the sandwiching & basting method tut at links below. Plus...it doesn't take up a lot of room.

I had the same problem with my quilts. When I did my last twin size quilt I tried this method and had no problem what so ever. I had the quilt with me when I went to LQS and they all wanted to know what I did to get every thing so flat and perfect. It's only the second larger size quilt I have done. I was just beaming from cheek to cheek with the compliments.
The method is really easy and I did find it on our very own QB thread. So give it a try next time. I know I'm sticking with it!
Good luck & happy sewing.

is the walking foot installed correctly? mine has a "fork" that needs to be hooked around the screw that secures the needle. That is inserted first - before the walking foot is secured to the shaft. If the foot is not attached to the moving part of the machine, it will not "walk" across the fabric lifting the foot as it goes.

It may be that your presser foot pressure is too high for your quilt sandwich.
What batting do you use? That could make a difference also.
