Use a walking foot or ensure your feed dogs are working correctly. Avoid pulling or stretching the fabric as you feed it through the machine. You can also use pattern weights when cutting.
Increase the stitch length slightly or reduce the tension on your sewing machine. If using a serger, ensure the differential feed is set correctly.
