Well first, let me say hello! Nice to have you on here.
Now ....I usually hand quilt but I have understood that it is in the tension when we have problems with skipping. I have used fusibles on my quilts before and found that no matter what there is a little bit of the fusi stuff that can interfere with the needles. I eased up on my tension, and kept a handiwipe close to wipe the needle every once in awhile to remove the gummy's . I know we have plenty of gals here who can help you. They may have better idea's.
