I was double checking that everything works and remembered the left drifting foot (not a good idea for a new quilter). I tried another foot and it didn't pull. So, I looked closely and tried it again. It drifts and is bent.

Thanks for letting us know what the problem was. Always good to have solutions.

I have found when the fabric pulls to the left or right, its usually the amount of pressure applied to the presser foot and the newer machines may not have adjustments for the presser foot.
