I think that you are either running the machine too fast, or you are moving your hands too slow. Your movement needs to be in sync with the speed of your machine. If your machine is new and has a variable speed selector, try turning it down so that even if you press the peddle down all the way it will only go as fast as the speed you selected. If your machine doesn't have that function, you may just have to adjust the pressure you put on the peddle by easing up on it bit by bit till you find the perfect speed to match your hand speed. Adjusting your stitch length on the machine will have no effect since you are either dropping the feed dogs, covering them up, or setting your stitch lenth to "0". The length of the FMQ stitches are determined by the syncopation of the machine and the hands. Hope this helps
