Sewing machine skipping stitches
Happy Friday to all!
I was looking forward to getting some sewing done this weekend but now I'm not so sure... I bought a Janome 8900 about six months ago and am superhappy with some features of it but am having issues with the machine skipping stitches. :-( Initially it happened mostly when going over seams, it's really sensitive to changes in thickness. But now it happens even when there are just two layers of fabric, no pins, no seams to go over. Apart from the obvious rethreading, I have tried adjusting the tension, changing the needle, switching to a different bobbin, switching out the thread altogether but nothing seems to help - I'm at a loss! Has anyone experienced something similar and if so, how did you get it resolved? My last resort will be to take it back to the dealer but I really want to sew this weekend so hoping there's a fix I can do myself... Thanks in advance!
