When sewing thread gets messed up you are supposed to check TNT or tension, needle thread. If it is sewing fine in most places and you get thread nest at intersections, you can reduce the pressure on your walking foot. Of course that is assuming you are using a walking foot to quilt your straight lines? If not a walking foot does help. I like to use a stitch on my machine that makes a slightly wiggly line rather than a straight line because straight lines are hard to keep straight. As stated for thread...a medium gray thread would be good or a varigated in the colours in the top. The quilt batt can cause problems if it's thick as well. I like a 80/20 blend batt for machine quilting.
