I have that foot and don't like it. Mine turned up the seams too. I use the SA125 and am very happy with it. If my seam is too small, ie, not a full 1/4", it can grab the edges of the seam and get hung up on them. I mostly solved the problem with trying to always sew so that the seam is pointing towards me, making the problem go away. There are times, I have had to sew from one end, then turn the piece over and start where I had stopped on the other side and continue sewing to the edge. Or just sew right through that offending seam and then go back to the other side and continue sewing. Where there is a will, there is a way.
