Thanks for the replies everyone!
I took yalls advice, I re-threaded skipping the center hole on the flat bar, made sure my thread didn’t go over the pin on the tension discs, and lowered the stop on the check spring to where it lets off after the needle is in the material. Also I misspoke earlier saying I was using 69 thread I’m actually using 92 thread with a 21 needle. Making these tweaks made my skipped stitches go away, however my top thread is still fraying. After doing inspection of my threadpath per wiz’s instructions I believe I found the issue. My thread guide has a notch worn in it and it is the only thing I can imagine it being. Below are some pics of some stitching,the notch in the guide, and the frayed top thread.
