The needle has to be inserted with the long channel on the left and the shorter scarf on the right, The thread has to be inserted from left to right.

I agree the needle is inserted and threaded wrong.

Long groove is on left side and thread is from left to right.

What brand of white thread is this on top?

The top thread is ratty and will come apart as you sew. I wonder if it has a right twist instead of the recommended left twist?

2 things I noticed. 1st is it possible that the foot is a piping foot and 2nd to me it looks like the needle hole in the inner foot is too small for the needle and the thread. I´d try a standard foot set with wide enough needle hole. Just a guess.

Im trying to learn the parts and different types of feet but I dont have enough knowledge yet to identify the different feet yet.

The skipped stitches in the leather combined with roughed up thread have me wondering if there is damage to the point of the hook and/or the gap between hook and needle is too wide.  It would help if we had a close up photo of the point of the hook as well as a close up of the hook as it is lined up with the needle (without thread).  

You're getting closer to figuring this out - hang in there.

That thread is never going to sew consistently. In fact I've never seen bonded nylon that looks like that. Maybe you're winding it on the bobbin in a strange way or someone switched labels on you.
