If set up properly they won't skip stitches at all. Yes, the 15x1 needles originally did not have a scraf. I save all my non-scarfed needles for straight stitch machines. I haven't ever seen a Free New Royal or Climax zig-zag machine, but I have a Adler version of this. It was just given to me this week. HEAVY machine, but beautiful. My new one has a disintegrated face/cover over the stitch width area. Not sure how to even approach that problem. OH well I'll deal with that another day.
