    What to do if my Bernette b79 skips stitches?
    • M
      Michael CarterAug 21, 2025
      Skipped stitches on your Bernette Sewing Machine can be caused by several factors. Ensure you are using the correct needle system 130/705H. A blunt or bent needle can also cause this issue, so replace the needle. Using a new BERNINA quality needle is also important. Check that the needle is correctly inserted with the flat side to the back, as far up as it will go into the needle holder, and that the screw is tightened. Finally, ensure that the needle point matches the texture of the material you are sewing.
