Last week, though, I got out the screwdriver and tightened the tension screw that the bobbin feeds under. I had to tighten it quite a bit, but all's well now.

I also had an issue with free motion quilting using the skimming feet that come with the machine. I was getting skipped stitches, especially when going over bulky seams. I bought a bouncy darning foot, and that solved the problem.
I finally understood that with my 8900. My 7700 didn't wind any of my bobbins tight enough. I had read the instrutions that you were supposed to get out that screwdriver and tighten that screw, but somehow, I didn't feel ike I was supposed to do that--like I was messing up my machine or something. But, I did with the 8900 I got and it works ever so much better.

I read somewhere that you have to set your machine on full speed to get a nice
full bobbin. Haven't filled enough bobbins to tell but when I tried it once the
bobbin looked indeed very even. The exception is for monofilament. Then you
have to set the speed to the slowest setting to avoid stretching the thread.
