Anyway, I hope you figure out this stitch length snafu, good luck ^_^Libbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05401072979564636328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2636205663800743096.post-15804936026094079542013-08-07T18:36:07.258-07:002013-08-07T18:36:07.258-07:00I find that the stitches become shorter if the rol...I find that the stitches become shorter if the rolled-up quilt pushes against the wall behind the sewing machine. I guess the pushing is more powerful than the advancing feed dogs so quilt can't move far enough under the needle to take the regular stitch length. I pull the sewing table as far out from the wall as I can, and if necessary I fold the rolled quilt over so it won't push against the wall. Hope this helps!The Colorful Fabriholichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16684095921708628970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2636205663800743096.post-74360970187511966842013-08-07T15:30:50.742-07:002013-08-07T15:30:50.742-07:00This has happened to me when I have particularly b...This has happened to me when I have particularly bulky seams--I've had to sort of muscle the quilt through to keep the stitch length even. It doesn't look like this quilt would have bulky seams but I do know there are some sort of gloves with a tacky surface that some quilters wear to keep the quilt moving evenly as you stitch. Maybe these would help? The quilt top is great! I love the plaids with the white and the creative piecing!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2636205663800743096.post-12216802166841789212013-08-07T12:06:14.253-07:002013-08-07T12:06:14.253-07:00I have no idea why your stitchs are not even, but ...I have no idea why your stitchs are not even, but I love this quilt top.

I've heard of some people using something on their table to make a quilt slide better when quilting. There's a product called "supreme slider" but it's rather pricey and I know other quilters have come up with innovative alternatives, but I don't remember what they are.
