Also, put in a new needle - a slightly bent or barbed needle can also cause skipped stitches, cut thread. And, re-thread her to make sure you have threaded the machine and bobbin correctly. Remember too, the bobbin rolls counter clockwise when you pull the thread while holding the bobbin case in your left hand (threaded)!
