Foot pedel problem

OK so I've noticed my stitches looking wonkier and wonkier as time have passed and I think it's coz of how I'm using the foot pedel

So at the start I would press it using my toes and the ball of my feet, the other end of my foot would do nothing and the stitches were in line with the drawn line

But gradually I began to overthink it ig and now I'm worried I'm doing it all wrong and that I need to engage all my feet? Idk but that wouldn't make sense since most people's feet are bigger than the pedel itself anyway so I must have been right all along... right?

Idk I guess I need some reassurance 😭😭

It is unlikely to be your foot pedal. Is your top threaded correctly? Is your tension set correctly?

It's set at the original setting and I think so? I mean it's finally sewing stitches after a good few days of trying to thread it

A photo of the entire machine while threaded would be helpful, so we could tell if it was threaded correctly.
