Seams are puckering - please help
#1
I am trying to machine quilting some place mats. After my first attempt, I ripped all the seams out, and did it again, but they are so puckered and I'm so disgusted. I have lessened the pressure foot pressure to 3 (as indicated in the directions on the dual foot), left the thread tension as is... The place mat looks puffy and puckered. Please help.

when you say dual foot do you mean the one built into the machine. Looks like it may not have been basted well.
Also as previous post. The batting looks thick. When batting is thicker I use pins before the feeds to help keep it flat.
