Zig-Zag stitch creasing down middle of stitch...

Also adding machine tape is excellent for narrow seams, but you have
to remove it carefully like the tissue paper to avoid pulling the
stitching loose.

If the fabric is washable, lots and lots of starch will help.

Northern Indiana. Perhaps I should look harder. But I've
been using the current bottle at least a year, so I haven't
much motivation to rifle the shelves.

WOW!!! Thanks so much to everyone! My machine is brand new and runs
beautifully as far as I can tell, but I was worried that perhaps there
was a tension problem. I am certain that I'm using the right foot,
and after having played w/ different tensions and stitch widths, I
think some kind of stabalizer will be the way to go. I'm only
experimenting right now and I guess my practice fabric was a little
light. I also tried on one of my husband's old dress shirts and also
had the same tunneling affect. Until I can get my hands on a
stabalizer, I'll play around with the coffee filters. Who knew? LOL!
Look for more questions from me as I learn my way around my machine!
Thanks again!!
