ah nice, i have the same problem with my adler, i found that it usually happens if i try to manipulate the material too much, esp if i'm doing long stitches on a little thicker leather.  Have you mentioned it to steve?

Not yet, It does great with the thin stuff he had for examples, and canvases and cordura, it's when I have to do multiple layers that it throws stitches. I've gotten it to run better than it was, but now it's roughly every 20-50 stitches is skipped, which seems rather odd to me.

try shortening the stitch length some, and making sure your needle is big enough to allow the loop to form underneath for the hook.  I have the same issue if i get too thick under the foot, sometimes it works better if i zip along and other times better if i slow roll it...lol

Haven't thought of shorter stitches, I'll give that a shot. As for size, I'm running a 23 needle with 138 thread
