Jared, it sounds like something may not be hooked up properly or that you have locked the stitch length on a super fine stitch.

Thank you. I did review the manual, but couldn't find anything in there about improper thread tension while reverse stitching. I had the stick length lever in the longest stitch position (further upward and downward).
