I think this can be a problem if you don't have a machine with adjustable foot pressure. Try to use batting that is quite thin to begin with. It is much more difficult to quilt with thick batting. If you find it is still too thick, make sure you have your hopping foot on correctly. The bar at the top oof the foot should be sitting on top of the bar that holds the needle in place. Hope you solve the problem as it is fun once you get the hang of it.
I have done further reading and did not realise you have a Pfaff. You don't put the foot all of the way down with a pfaff. There is a halfway position which is the quilting position. Then you can sometimes knock it out of position whilst quilting, so you need to be mindful of this.
