One thing that I find that helps me is I run the foot pedal med-fast, and my hands a little slower - if you look at Crazy Mom Quilts, she has a tutorial on free motion quilting that will give you an idea. But I find if I run the foot pedal faster than my hands, a lot of the jerkiness smoothes out. It does look like your bobbin tension is off - there should be a little screw somewhere on your bobbin case - play around with tightening and loosening it - but it doesn't take much to make a big difference. I have to tighten the screw up in mine every few weeks or so - maybe because it's an older machine (12 years old I think). Good luck!
