Default Pfaff Performance Icon and Aurifil thread

I have a new Pfaff Performance Icon. I always piece with 50 weight Aurifil thread--this machine won't work good with it. It skips stitches. I took it back to my dealer and she tried it with Signature 50 weight thread (which is thicker than the Aurifil for some reason) and it sews beautifully. I use Aurifil on my other 3 Pfaff machines and it works fine. Is it that this new machine might need some kind of adjustment or it just isn't going to like my thread. I have several spools of this thread and I don't want to just have it sit! Two of my other machines I use primarily for embroidery and the other is my travel machine (smaller). The Icon I bought to replace my Quilt Expression 4.0 (I wish I had just kept it and not traded!). Any ideas from anyone?
