I also crank my tension to between 8 and 9. I put my feed dogs down and I use my foot pedal with the speed bar all the way to the right . I can't get the hang of using the start/stop button and I have never used the blue dot bobbin. Don't try to push the quilt too fast or jerky . That's when I have problems. I've found wearing gardening gloves helps with that
