I just got a Ruby Deluxe and found the same problem...that oh so slight drag that makes all the difference. I felt like I was back to square one on free motion, I resolved the problem by reducing the presser foot pressure {now that is a mouthful } from six to five or ever lower if I have a really fat quilt sandwich. Look in the manual for what screen to go to...I find it is a bit of a poke here or there, I can never find it the same way twice it seems. It does really help with smoothing out the process. Also, I find the Viking screens are super sensitive and in the process of moving the quilt about if it touches the screen you can pop into another stitch just like that. Find the lock screen and do use it with every sewing session. Believe me this can stop an " oh $#!? what now " moment.
