Long stitches quilt path pulling

[polishembroidery 0]

Send a design to quilt path got 4 rows done on the 5 th one machine started to jerk and makes long stitches. Unplugged the machine and quilt path resented the design and is doing the same pull. Any suggestions how to fix the problem I have 3 rows to finish.

I can’t see any holes where the stitches should have been so I agree long stitches.  Unplug an reconnect your horizontal encoder assuming the straight line in your second picture is vertical.  Is the rubber wheel on the encoder making good contact with whatever it drives off, on our machine it drives off one of the carriage wheels?  Is that carriage wheel tight or sloppy loose causing the encoder to lose contact.  If that doesn’t locate your problem I think you are calling the factory on Monday for further help.

Try stitching the row or two above this that corresponds to this one.  See if it stitches ok. If it's a panto that is every other row, then you can swich between row 1 and 2 if 2 is offset or different.
