Of late I have gotten into the rag quilting, both crib size quilts and purses. Because regulating the pressure foot weight is not an option on my machine, I kept getting uneven seams on the squares. Part of the problem was, of course the pressure foot issue - but more over the fact that you are sewing from corner-to-corner (on the bias). Pins just won't hold. Now I use the quilter's basting spray. I spray both sides of the batting before making my "sandwich". Now the fabric does not slip and I end up with even seams on all my squares!!
