Topic: Skirt is wavvy

I am just trying out my printer for one of the first times.  The skirt printed smooth when i first did it, however now it is coming out (for the lack of a better word) "wiggly".  It is almost wavy in the circle that it is making and the first layer of the print is coming out that way too.  It fixes itself by the later layers.  Any tips on what may be causing it? Thanks!!!

Have you calibrated your extruder?  Sounds like you might be over extruding.
