  Heidi RobbinsJul 29, 2025
  If your Janome Sewing Machine skips stitches, it could be due to the following reasons: * The needle is incorrectly inserted, bent, or blunt. * The needle and/or threads are not suitable for the material you're sewing. * A stretch stitch needle isn't being used for stretch, very fine fabrics, and synthetics. * The needle thread isn't threaded properly. * A poor-quality needle is being used. Try using the stretch stitch needle or changing the needle to resolve this.
