Clean you machine. Try different needles. Try different thread. Every machine is different. I have a Janome. Mine works best if I leave the feed dogs up but use a supreme slider to cover the feed dogs. I know it even varies what works on the same brand of machine. Just get some scrap fabric and play around, there will be some combination that works. The best way to lear to FMQ is to play around. There are many tips on youtube too. Good luck.
