Welcome to the Quilting Board!
I went back to read your original post. Hopefully the new needles will take care of everything since the stitches looked fine before. In addition to the Top Stitch 100, I also use Top Stitch 90/14. But I think the 100 was the size I was told originally. Send me a PM to let me know if this solved the problem because I might miss your post.
What kind of thread are you using? The needle size matters but so does the thread type. Also, sometimes when thread is miss behaving try taking the spool and sitting it in a cup behind the machine so that it comes off the spool differently. This does help sometimes. Leah Day puts all of her thread in a cup when FMQ because it acts better. Good luck. I agree with the others, you shouldn't have to mess with your tension. Have you checked out Leah Day's website; it's all about FMQ and has great free advice and tutes
By the way, are you also using the same thread in the top and bottom; this is also important.
