Missing stitches - Why?

[SteveBrambley]

Hi Ray,

There is still a possibility that the 'looper hook' may have moved or come loose. The Pilot works differently to most lockstitch machines, there is a hook that grabs the thread loop and pulls it across for the shuttle hook to grab like a conventional machine. I found that if this 'looper hook' is too far back (or forward) it will miss the thread and drop a stitch.

Of course, it might be something else, but it's worth a try.

I likes the idea of throwing in the ditch and starting again.... loading it into the truck and heading for a gravel road, threatening to dump it sounds pretty good...

Why do that, you know as well as I do that sewing machines have no feelings whatsoever. They are born to be perverse critters!
