Sandra, I didn't post because I don't have a handle on the actifeed yet. Most of my success is probably the "stumble into it" kind of luck. I haven't noticed any issues with actifeed until I started sewing Metallic thread on a knit with big satin columns. 2 machines on actifeed sewed well, 2 on actifeed didn't, so I had no idea what was up. Still working on this problem today. How are your actual finished garments turning out? You said the sew outs look puckered, maybe its just the material you are using for the sew outs...
