Default Help with sewing batiks

I'm making a wall hanging with the fusible, laser cut "stained glass" leading. It is a big (27 X 42) Nativity scene. The directions say that you don't need to sew down after fusing the applique to the batik, but I want to do a little topstitching for definition and to act as the quilting. I've layered it with a thin poly batting and a batik back. I've switched to a microtex sharp needle and lengthened the stitch length a little and when I can get the machine to stitch at all I get skipped stitches. I'm at a loss. May have to give up on any extra stitching. This is a picture of what I'm doing it is from The Creative Iron
Thanks in advance for any suggestions
