@Adam12 I have gone through those videos several times and have checked everything in the order that he does. While I did make some minor adjustments that weren't clear or could be subjective, everything has been gone through more than 5 times.
@MalcolmM There was a test piece in the machine when I got it. The problem is that the machine will sew correctly for 50-100 stitches and then goes out of whack. It starts to make smaller and smaller stiches. I can start out at 5mm and within a few minutes of sewing the machine is down to the 3.5mm stich range. And yes, the indicator dial is still on 5mm.
I also tested against my other machine the stich lengths. I have a sailrite LS-Z and on a single piece of vinyl and vinyl with a 1/2" sew foam the machine makes consistent stitches. On the RBL-18, the stitches are much shorter on the thicker material right up front.
And yes, I have been calling the dealer and am at the end of my patience level.
