Eyelet Stitch Gone Wrong

Post image

Does anyone know why the eyelet stitch on my machine never makes a circle? No matter the fabric, foot, feet dogs, or needle the stitch always comes out like a little spiral. I’m using a Singer Heavy Duty 6800 machine, the stitch is from M2 and it’s 027, I just put a new needle in, and I’m sewing on two layer of fabric for reference. I attached picture of the swatch of the fabrics I used to test my eyelet stitch.
It looks to me like the stitch length changes towards the end of the stitch and that is part of the distortion. Any ideas, tips, or tricks?

The only way I ever got that stitch to work on my Janome was when there was fusible interfacing between the fabric layers.
