Machine Not Topstitching Evenly

hi. I have tried everything to get my stitches even and know its not me moving or pulling the fabric causing the uneven stitching! My machine is new only purchased last month. I used an old one before and got perfect stitches! Its especially bad when im using fleece wadding or topstitching zips.Ive changed needles, tried changing tensions and still no luck. Any help you can give me would be greatly appreciated.Louise

Poor thread tension on a machine-sewn seam can result in an unstable seam, puckering, or just plain unattractive stitching. Perfect machine stitches interlock smoothly and look the same on both sides of the fabric. If you see small loops on the right or wrong side, the thread tension isn't correct.

I hope this is helpful? PLEASE "ACCEPT" and mark it "HELPFUL" to complement my little effort. Hope to bring you more detailed answers
