I believe this to be a combination of the Auto-acti-feed system and designs. I would say that it is design specific....that is....wide columns, long stitches and the speed the design is being sewn at will exhibit this trait more often. Running the bobbin a bit tighter or going into "Settings" and "Thread Feed" and adjusting the setting on column width and/or run/fill will tighten things up a bit.... We all want the Auto-acti-feed system to do all the work for us as far as the material thickness is concerned, but sometimes with some lettering, designs and thin materials, sewing on the "Standard" setting is just better...
