I believe I have fixed my problem! Thank you everyone!! I pulled out an old FMQ foot, (hopping foot,) that I used with my old Brother Runaway that I gave to my sister years ago. It's not the foot that came with this machine, but I think the spring is better(??). I took out my top stitch needle and replaced it with my regular 100/16 needle. My feed dogs have been down the whole time. So, so far it's going well.
Thank you all for your help and support! I used to be able to FMQ a full size quilt quite well on my Brother Runaway, so I know it's do-able. I just had to think back to what I used to do. I think I cracked it
