Default Husquvarna Sapphire 875

Probably didn't spell Husquvarna right...oops. I am wondering, how many of you have the Sapphire 875 ( I know a few) and what you think of them. I replaced my Janome 6600 in April 2022 with the Sapphire 875 and it has been a battle ever since. It chews up fabric, the fabric veers to the right for no apparent reason, the automatic thread cutter doesn't cut the bobbin thread, and the thread jumps off the guide arm constantly. I miss my Accufeed, 1/4" foot with guide, built in walking foot etc. I thought I would get use to this Sapphire 875, but, I am having less and less interest being in my sewing room because the machine drives me crazy. Am I missing something? Is there something I can do to make the fabric stay on course and the thread quit jumping off the guide arm? I'm sure it is a beautiful machine, but, I can't get used to it and unfortunately don't have the funds to replace it.
I would love any feedback that the board members can give... Maybe I'm just missing the boat.
