01Troubleshooting guide
Sewing machine skipping stitches: causes and fixes
A skipped stitch usually means the hook cannot catch a stable upper-thread loop. Start with the needle and threading before changing tension.
02
Most likely causes
- The needle is bent, blunt or inserted in the wrong direction.
- The needle system, point or size does not suit the machine and fabric.
- The upper thread has missed a guide or the take-up lever.
03Step
Check in this order
- 01Step 1
Switch off the machine, raise the needle fully and fit a new needle in the orientation shown in the manual.
- 02Step 2
Confirm the needle system and choose a point and size for the fabric; stretch fabric normally needs a ball point or stretch needle.
- 03Step 3
Raise the presser foot and rethread the complete upper path so the thread enters the tension discs.
- 04Step 4
Test on a folded scrap using a straight stitch and a medium stitch length before adjusting tension.
04
What should restore normal sewing
A fresh, correctly seated needle and complete rethreading solve the most common causes.
If one fabric still skips, change the needle point and size rather than forcing a higher tension.
