Electricmason, I have owned a Weaver Cub since March of this year. The skipped stitch issue is caused by the take-up spring. I had to readjust mine (move the spring away from the needle) to pick up the slack when the needle is on the downward movement. I also adjusted the thread tension a little more. Move the hand wheel in a nice slow smooth motion. No sudden speed ups when going through the work piece. Here is a pic of a knife sheath just made yesterday. I am also including a pic of the stand I made for the Cub.
