  Michael MorrisAug 16, 2025
  Skipping stitches can occur for several reasons: * The needle might not be inserted properly; ensure it is correctly inserted. * The needle could be bent or worn; try changing the needle. * The machine might be incorrectly threaded; rethread it. * The needle or thread may be inappropriate for the fabric; use the recommended needle and thread. * If sewing stretch fabric, use a #11 blue tip needle. * The needle bar height, needle to hook timing, or needle to hook clearance might be inappropriate. Consult the mechanical adjustments sections on 'Needle bar height', 'Needle timing to shuttle' and 'Clearance between needle and hook'.
