Another big tip that came from a sewing machine tech is to use a Stretch Needle, meant to use on knits but can be used on any fabric, the Stretch needles have a longer scarf & help prevent skipped stitches, I consider it a miracle needle.[/quote]

Stretch needle, huh??? I am going to try this out today with the stretch needle. I have been doing all my FMQ on all my projects and sometimes I do get skipped stitches, I will definitely try the stretch needle, thanks for that tip!!!
