esantoro Posted May 30, 2007 Report Posted May 30, 2007 Just recently I had to sew a full 3/4 inch for a new handle I'm making for my briefcases. I broke two #24 needles in the process of figuring out the design. Now I notice my machine is skipping stitches quite freguently. I'd say I can't sew 12 inches without the machine skipping a stitch. Is there a checklist I could go through to troubleshoot this problem? What are the possible reasons? Thanks for the help, Ed Quote

When I inserted the new needle, I didn't push it up as far as it would go in the needle shaft. Ed Quote
