What size should I be using? 14? That's what I had in when it was skipping, so I tried an 11 and it skipped too. Have not tried the heavy duty.
I'm going to try rebooting the sewing machine, too. Thanks for the great advice so far. I'll keep trying.
I'm noticing that my needle is gumming up a bit near the top of it. I used June Taylor basting spray this time. Does that interfere with the needle? I ran out of 505 and got the JT from Joanns for 1/2 price.
Thanks!
