I have used both I have never had skipped stitches with either product or had a gummed needle for that matter ... Sounds like you might need to change your needles and maybe retread your bobbins...

New thread and new thread in your bobbin?
I applique all the time and that's all I ever use, so I'm trying to figure out what else could be the problem.
