My guess is something wrong with your foot. Maybe it isn't coming down firmly enough at the point where the stitch is formed. See if they have a different kind of hopping foot you can try. (My Pfaff has the standard smallish darning foot plus a big foot for quilting.)

This is the quilting foot. I could try the quilting foot from my other machine. I also thought this must be the problem, but I've been watching closely and it really does look like it's going down and pressing on the fabric well each time. Also, after the problem developed, when I was bringing the thread up to make sure it didn't get tangled, it just wasn't happening, the foot was down, but I was holding on a pressing down too, that to me suggests something wasn't going too well down below.
