    It's so nice to check and see no skips!!
    did you use a different needle for your machine quilting?
    Generally you would use a machine quilting needled that is like a 70 or 80 sharp to as they take the higher friction.

    If not, then did you change the needled after quilting? You might have a dull needle now!
