Jennifer,  I  do not have experience with that machine but does is your machine  selecting  the needles to the proper position for transferring stitches?  Could it be that adjacent needles are being selected?  This would cause jaming and dropping.  Also do the same needles jam or do they jam randomly...a twisted latch or needle hook could also cause problems. Can you run the lace carriage without yarn without it jamming?
