Meaby your making an step back someware.

Try driving it realy slow (Make the counters clock about 1-2 Hz).And watch how the motors shaft thurns.It may be sotping or thruning backwards a bit in the seqence.

As already suggested, a decade counter doesn't seem a good choice to try and do this with?.

A PIC makes it simple to do, and you can use the motor in various ways as well (full step, half step etc.), or there are specific stepper motor drive chips, which you simply tell to go forwards or backwards.

If you google for "stepper motor tutorial" there is a LOT of information available, and plenty of examples.
