that happens to me if I start at the very edge - so have to start in from the edge a bit and make sure the fabric is on each feed dog on each side of the needle - then it works;not sure why it started doing this, but it is aggrivating at the least.

Any other ideas? Please help, I don't want to clean house today, I'd rather work on my quilt.

Remove bobbin and top thread and re-thread the machine after you check for lint and oil if needed. If the thread doesen't pick up into the tension disks properly you can get this effect with the birdsnests and crooked or wandering stitching. Good luck.
