Skipped stitches on the sewing machine may be caused by the following reasons:
1. Improper thread tension
Too tight or too loose tension on the upper or lower thread can cause skip stitches. Adjust the tension knob to ensure that the thread tension is appropriate.
2. Incorrect needle installation
Incorrect needle installation or wrong direction can cause skip stitches. Make sure the needle is inserted in place with the flat side facing backwards.
3. Bent or blunt needle
Bent or blunt needles cannot penetrate the fabric properly, causing skip stitches. New needles need to be replaced regularly.
4. Mismatched needle and thread
Mismatched needle model and thread material can also cause skip stitches. Choose the right needle according to the fabric and thread material.
5. Bobbin problem
Incorrect installation or damage of the bobbin can cause skip stitches. Check whether the bobbin is placed correctly and replace it if necessary.
6. Bobbin case problem
Debris or damage in the bobbin case can affect the supply of the lower thread, causing skip stitches. Clean the bobbin case and replace it if necessary.
7. Improper presser foot pressure
Too little presser foot pressure may cause fabric movement and cause skipped stitches. Adjust the presser foot pressure to ensure that the fabric is stable.
8. Fabric problem
Too thick, too thin or elastic fabric may cause skipped stitches. Adjust the machine settings or replace the appropriate needle and thread according to the characteristics of the fabric.
9. The machine is not threaded correctly
Incorrect threading will cause uneven thread tension and cause skipped stitches. Thread correctly according to the instructions.
10. The machine needs to be cleaned and lubricated
Internal dust accumulation or lack of lubrication will affect the operation of the machine and cause skipped stitches. The machine should be cleaned and lubricated regularly.
