Does this happen to you?

While machine quilting and then stopping to rearrange the quilt or your hands, you re-start your stitching but it goes croocked?

Try this.

Stop with your needle down, then adjust hands/quilt. Start by stitching several times in the same spot, continue on your quilting pattern.

I find this makes for a smooth transition from stop to re-start with no uneven stitching!
