Default Ruler Foot Problem

I have been wanting to try ruler quilting for a while. Finally bought a ruler foot and my MIL loaned me a couple of her rulers. Am finally working on a quilt that I decided I would try the ruler on. I sew on a Janome 8900 memory craft. I can free motion quilt just fine. When I am using the "convertible free motion quilting foot" I can sew in all directions including backward. Zero issues. Now when I use the ruler foot and quilt backwards, I get big skipped stitches right before the thread breaks. Why would this be? If I slow down I can sew for slightly longer before the thread breaks, but I don't understand how a different foot would change things so dramatically.
