Now it went well then the last half of the quilt I have had to cut out stitches twice to what I put in and leave. It isn't very much fun. I even marked my settings so I wouldn't get them off if I bumped them and changed to the needle package that came with the machine and machine quilting thread as recommended the whole shebang. It still isn't fun.
Stitches will get longer & skip stitches if the encoder wheels are not turning on the track properly. Try cleaning the regulator encoder wheels with rubbing alcohol. Move the machine back & forth from the back side of the table & take a visual look to see if the encoder wheels are tracking properly (rolling on the track). If your needle is dull it may not be picking up the bobbin thread properly. Usually you will hear a plucking sound when the needle goes through the fabric if the needle is dull. Try those two things & see if problem gets resolved.
