Have you try lowering your feed dog's. It sounds like it is pulling your backing to fast. and you do need to alternate your direction on each strip. I have my machine set at stitch length 4 with feed dogs lowered just so the teeth are at the plate.

I had this problem when I did my bursting star quilt because I was stitching in the ditch around the star. Used my seam ripper alot! I found that if I repositoned my safety pins frequently that helped alot.

I would use a walking foot..also..spray starch your backing. This may help you..lay your backing on a flat surface..spray with quilt basting spray..then lay your batting on top of that. I think Quilt basting spray is a Godsend. Hope this helps you.

I haven't read all the posts yet, so someone may have already said this. You may need to adjust the PRESSURE of the foot. It's a dial we rarely adjust - and when it's pushing down TOO HARD, even with a walking foot, you'll get puckers.
