skipped stitches/ uneven stitches usually means it's time to change the needle- prehaps you need a different size / type of needle for the thread/sandwich combo you are using
there is always a new learning curve- when learning a new machine-
breath- relax- trouble shoot the stitch quality/tension issues- and practice- it will get better. :)

I did have to change the tension a little on mine, but I think that's all about how I FMQ.
You'll get it right, it just takes practice, I like how mine works.
I also use the Supreme Slider as well so the movement is smooth.

I went back and re-read the manual, down at the bottom of the page there is a caution against pulling the fabric toward you while using the open toe foot to FMQ. I was using regular sewing thread and it would shred and break when I pulled the fabric toward me. I have not tried using the closed toe, but will try it in my next practice session. I agree with you that it is near impossible to to FMQ without moving the fabric toward you. I got good results when moving side to side.
