I found a different foot along with a magnetic guide which I put in front of the foot tokeep seam & material straight. I've only used it on scrap pieces to test but it seems to be working consistently. As for them pulling out, it was a stitch length too long, atleast shortening it seems to have fixed that. Thank you all! I am learning to use every little knob on my machine while trying to adjust anyway. My only sewing bckground prior to starting this is a class in high school 20+ years ago. Thanks again!
