Be sure you have installed a brand new needle. If it still does not pick up the bobbin thread, the machine may be out of time.
If the presser foot does not set firmly on the fabric, then that is what you want for free motion quilting. However, if you mean the presser foot is sloppy (wobbly), then the attachment may be loose or the presser foot is worn.

I think you might have better luck if you use 40 or 50 weight thread.
SOURCE: needle thread breaks while quilting on machine frame
I posted question about top thread breaking when quilting (using walking foot). Finally solved my problem, my solution may help others. Decrease the presser foot tension to nearly 0. Had tried different threads, tension settings, needles. Nothing worked until I adjusted the presser foot tension. Quilting went like a dream, even through seams ect, also worked for attaching binding.
