I have a Janome Memory Craft 6600. When I FMQ my thread will shred and there are skipped stitches. I've changed thread, rethreaded, use 12/14 needle and still have problems. Any suggestions and could it be the FMQ foot itself?

Hello, and welcome from Idaho!

I had same problem on my Juki and store I bought from said use 16 needle. Seemed kinda large but no more shredded thread or breaking. Except Connecting Threads cotton. If I go to fast it almost always shreds on FMQ.

sounds like you need a new needle- and perhaps clean the machine-
usually frayed thread is from the needle not being the correct one for the thread- and skipped stitches generally mean the needle is dull or has a burr. sometimes these things can be caused from lint build up- or it's time to oil. some maintenance- and a new needle the correct size/type for the thread will more than likely fix the problem |
Are you using the same kind of thread on top and in the bobbin. That can sometimes cause problems if you arn't.
