Thanks to all who have been trying to help - currently at a stage that it is sewing pretty well (have to keep the fingers and toes crossed). The final result, 1 layer fusible poly mesh, 1 layer tearaway, (had already been using solvy), presser foot up 1 notch. Initially, I had it 3 notches up, then moved it all the way down (both had their own set of problems). Some days don't seem to work....
