Have you tried to adjust the tension? Maybe it needs to loosen up a little? Another thought - what kind of foot are you using? Could your foot be catching on previously quilted sections and pulling? I had that problem with an open foot. I like the closed one for that reason.
No I haven't adjusted tension. I have a D1 and usually it is adjusted accordingly. I am using a FMQ stitch where the feed dogs are dropped automatically. The foot is small round and clear, not open but is the same I always use. No it isn't catching on other stitches. I may try the tension change. Thank you.
