I'm really bad about "Winging" things. Just ask my husband about how I cook - Mix-n-Dump. After buying a new sewing machine and learning its quirks, I decided to actually write down the settings I was using for diapers. My old method of top stitching wasn't cooperating with this machine & I decided that I really needed to write down what I did that worked. All it took was a silly little moleskine notebook that lives by my sewing machine (when my DD doesn't take off with it).
My new machine has three feed dogs (one under each side of the foot and one in in the middle behind the needle). My old method of lining the fabric up with the right edge of the presser foot has a nasty habit of wandering (PUL has a mind of its own). What worked well was to actually line up the fabric with the center of the foot (I'm using a teflon foot) with the needle adjusted to the left (the right side of the presser foot has nothing but air under it). I also made sure to write down needle settings (stitch length & position) & the tension settings.
