Commerical machine question

Hi, my name is Cindy and I'm new to the group. Hope someone can answer a question for me.

I have a business that I run out of my home and I sew a pretty thick type fabric. I've never had any problems in the past in sewing this type of fabric.

I currently have 3 commercial machines. Two of them are broken down and I just purchased a brand new one. When I am sewing these 2 pieces of fabric together, I sew about 5 or 6 inches, turn the corner, sew about 24-36 inches. When I get to the next long side, everything is fine until I reach the last 7-10 inches. I have extra fabric on top that I need to fudge to meet the point on the bottom piece. The fabric is kinda of stretchy and I know I'm not pulling on the top piece. I've worked with this fabric for the last 5 years.

Question is - do you think I would need to adjust the feed dogs or the presser foot?

I hope this makes sense to someone because I am totally lost at this point. The manual doesn't really help either. Checked with everyone over at RCTQ and RCTS and they sent me here.

TIA

Try backing off on the presser foot pressure. You may also look into a Teflon foot or Roller foot. If the 2 fabrics are of different types try turning it over so the other fabric is on top.
