sorry BK but not all machine's eat triangles, one little thing you can do and helps so much is trim the points off before stitching and I never use he single hole foot to stitch them.

The leader cloth is the best way to avoid the eating of triangles....
I use it even for sqs just used to it and it is just part of the process...

Also, this is more likely to happen with thin, or sheer fabrics.

Yes this is also very true, my mother thought if the needle wasn't bent or broken it was still ok

Try this. Place your fabric under the needle bring the needle down into the fabric then turn the wheel so your fabric lifts just a little, put the sewing foot down and this will take the fabric down then sew. Once in a while this doesn't work but it does for me the majority of times . Hope this helps.
