If
your
machine skips stitches only on certain fabrics,
try
all
of the procedures
on the previous
page before
calling
a
repairman,
Check the needle plate area,
if there are scratches and
marks around the
needle hole opening, your machine is
not being cleaned
properly, Always remove the
needle
plate and clean the
feed
dogs
periodically. Improper
and
lack of cleaning will cause an
accumulation of lint which
hampers the feeding mechanism, this
in turn will cause
the
operator to impatiently
pull or push the cloth
causing
the needle to
bend and strike the plate,
foot
or
hook, causing
a
slip in the timing mechanism,
Continuous striking will cause
defects
making it
necessary
to
call
a
serviceman.
