Default Help with FMQ Problem

I've been doing FMQ with my domestic machine for several years. I do all of my own quilts and not an expert by any means, but I do OK. But the quilt I'm currently doing is just not turning out the way I want. One problem that I haven't had before is little knots where I change direction. I've tried stopping briefly then changing direction and I've tried a continuous movement. I've tried googling but I can't seem to get the wording right to fine help. My other problem is I don't like the thread color. Trying to use a neutral gray but it shows up too much on the dark navy patches for me. I'm thinking of taking out all the quilting but still need to know what is causing the knots and how to blend the light and dark blocks. This is not fun, but each day I keep doing more quilting, thinking it may be ok when it is done. Any ideas???
