Skipped Stches Correcve Measure(s)
The needle is damaged, dull,
bent, or installed improperly
• Replace the needle oen, normally once or twice per day for
connuous quilng or at least once per quilt. Use only the
recommended needle system.
• Always change the needle if the needle has struck any hard object
such as a pin, etc. The p of the needle can become damaged
or burred, resulng in fabric damage as well as skipped stches,
thread breakage, or shredding.
• Always change the needle if it has been hit, bumped or pulled o
center while maneuvering the machine over the quilt. A slightly
bent needle can be a major cause of skipped stches.
Incorrect needle size • Use the proper size needle for the work and thread being used.
Some bangs and fabrics used in quilng may constrict or
impede the thread passing through the front groove of the
needle. This diminishes the loop required for stch formaon.
Typically, a larger needle will solve the problem. However, using
certain smaller sizes of needles and ball pointed needles solve
some specic problems. You will need to experiment to
determine which works best with your combinaon of fabric,
thread, and bang.
Thread tension too ght • Check bobbin case tension and then check top thread tension.
(For more informaon about adjusng tension, see Bobbin
and Bobbin Tension and Easy-Touch Tension™ in the Using Your
Machine secon of this manual.)
Improper threading • Ensure that the machine is threaded correctly.
