When my stitching starts to get wonky I know that my machine is way over due for a cleaning.
I got my brother in 2001, too. I was having problems with thread breaking while embroidering so I had my machine cleaned and tuned up about 6 months ago. It was working fine until i tried to FMQ for the first time. I think I finally figured out how to set the machine up. I had so much fun today quilting and the thread didn't break once. The only problem I had was running out of bobbin thread! Just hope the Brother Disney can handle all this quilting.
