Question: sewing chiffon problem

I've been trying to sew chiffon and am having a problem with the fabric
being pulled to the left. It seems that the thread pulls it that way,
but it could be the feed dog. This is especially a problem in sewing a
baby hem at the corners, since there is nothing to hold onto in back.

Can anyone advise on how to fix or lessen the pulling?

Thank you!

Sorry to be so slow in responding--you've probably finished the project
by this time. :-( Anyway, you might put a larger piece of tissue paper
underneath, to act as a stabilizer and give you something to hang onto
at the corners. It would help to prevent the feed dogs from pulling the
fabric and can easily be torn free after sewing.
