I always have to increase my top tension for FMQ. I put mine up 2 whole numbers from regular sewing tension. When I get done with the FMQ, I dial it back down to the factory setting for regular sewing.
Also I am not very fond of King Tut threads and you didn't mention the weight of your thread. I like 50 wt. for top threads with a lighter thread in the bobbin.
