please note: the depth difference in your background and in the applique can throw the tension off... because you machine is hopping over to make the 'sideways' stitch..., the foot is 'riding in mid air'.... check out the new 'stepped' foot that allows for this... the other thing you can do is to use hot glue to attach a small 'ski shaped' runner on the low side of your foot... i made mine from big plastic-coated paper clip, folding 2 'foot lengths' into a U shape and then closing the U, leaving a bit out front to 'toe up'... the depth was enough and the hot glue just pops off when you don't need it... works fine on regular applique, but if you need more depth, then you'll have to experiment with other additions...
