Default Major FM quilting problem

I just got started to quilt today using free motion & my stitches keep skipping making "long" stitches even though I am moving my fabric slowly. Seems as though the top thread & bobbin are not catching in places leaving big gaps in the stitches. I've never had this problem before. I cleaned my bobbin case area before I started (nothing unusual about that), put in a new needle, lowered my feed dogs & put on my open toe foot & tried a sample. It's terrible. I went back to regular sewing (up feed dogs & regular machine foot and it seems to sew just fine. What do you think is my problem? I'm just at my wits end. I've re-threaded the needle & bobbin several times but nothing seems to help. I need y'alls help on this one.
My machine is a Janome Magnolia 7330.
