Both problems have one answer. There should be 2 knobs on your machine. One of them dictates the distance of the thread and the other one is on the tension. If the stitch is too far apart, the tension might be too strong, however, if you have reset the tension to a further spaced stitch, the slack will cause it to knot up.
