Are you breaking it on your first stitch?
Or are you FMQing for a while, before the break happens?
If you are getting past the first stitches .... my suggestion would be for you to switch back to regular stitching mode and check if you are able to good stitches. If so, then switch to zig-zag, and check the results. If all seems good and you feel up to it, then switch to FMQing and see what happens.
When you take it to your dealer, after they have serviced it, be sure to have something with you to sit down and practice FMQing with ... and ask them to give you a lesson, to be sure you are doing everything right.
Good Luck!
