There's lots of things to know with sewing machines. A big one is to make sure you are in constant control. guide your fabric carefully with your hands. make sure the fabric underneath is still aligned and not slipping away, as it does all the time. Use small stitches on small stuff, and big stitches on big stuff. There should be a setting that lets you choose the number of stitches per inch. Be careful with seam allowances too, make sure you have enough. If you absolutely have to sew close to an edge, switch to a very small stitch, like 24 per inch. That will strengthen it so it doesn't open when reversing it.
And get a thread ripper if you don't have one.

aww, heheh. Yeah sometimes you have to accentuate curves to make them more visible after reversing. You're welcome, glad to help you out.
