I lessened the presser foot pressure, set the stitch length to zero and just went to town on a practice sandwich. It didn't look too shabby, so I quilted a baby quilt and it turned out pretty good. I've since tried to do everything the right way on that machine and found out it doesn't like a hopping foot so I leave it alone and do what works. I've probably done 10 quilts on that machine and never had a problem.
