I am looking forward to seeing what actually made the difference for you.
I changed the paper that the pattern was on, and copied the blocks onto some Carol Daok paper for piecing. I put in an 11 needle, I put the tension back to auto, but I decreased the foot pressure a little. I left the stitch length at 1.5, but wonder if it could be a little bigger. It's much better now though.
