My roommate jokingly suggested our "ghost lady" was messing up the machine because I was trying to take the short cut. So I stepped away, got my seam ripper and went to town taking all the seams apart. I then ironed and squared all my blocks and started to sew again.
Believe it or not, it sewed without a missed stitch.
No more shortcuts for me.
