    You might want to check your needle size too. I was having trouble with skipped stitches and had to use a little larger needle.

    Looks like that was the problem, I also cleaned out the bobbin area (only have done one quilt, but wow the amount of lint in thier!). Thanks for all the help everyone!

    Sometimes my bobbin doesn't wind right and it does what you're describing. Take your bobbin out and pull on the thread. Does it stay tight or does it pull funny? If it doesn't stay tight it hasn't wound right.
