Default Quilting with Rulers thread problem

I am having a problem with my thread shredding, breaking, and after sewing ok for a bit, will suddenly skip stitches when doing ruler quilting. Just getting started with this technique. I am quilting on a Janome 6609P, using Schmetz quilting needles. I’ve tried both #11 and #14. My tension is great. The thread is from ConnectingThreads. I have always used it for fmq on this machine and have never had a problem. The feed dogs are down. I have tried 4 different, new needles and 3 different spools of thread. I know I must be doing something wrong but I can’t figure it out. Any ideas would be appreciated.
