I'm working on a pattern that is stitched on an afghan material..I'm having a problem with the stitching collapsing in the material (pulling through to the next stitch). Any ideas of how to prevent this?

It sounds like your tension may be too tight.  Have you tried using a hoop?

Another tip is not to tighten your thread when stitching. Or use 3 threads instead of 2.
