Default What Do I Need to Pay Attention to?

I sew on a Viking Designer 1 machine.
Love it.
I don't do serious sewing, just a lot of piecing and some basic quilting.

When I piece, I like to use my walking foot as it seems to keep my fabric tight.
Lately it feels like my "feed" isn't working so well.
Seems like the foot isn't going all the way down, although it is.
Sometimes when I'm sewing, the machine will not want to "progress" or move forward
and my stitches end up being super tiny.

I've taken things apart and cleaned/dusted down there.
I've checked my stitch length.
I've changed my needle.
I'm not sure what is causing this?

Any thoughts?
Thanks!
