First of all, try stitching on a single layer of fabric and vary your stitch length - see if the number of stitches per inch changes. If the length between stitches doesn't change then adjust the pressure on feet - with a thick sandwich you need a bit more pressure or else the fabric will slip (not advance as it should) which will cause smaller stitches.
