I really appreciate all the suggestions and help. You are all so great to try to help! Thank you all!
Well as an update I used the 01 position for the same needle and it worked just fine. then I wanted to use the position I usually use so I went back to using the 00 with the needle at 50 which is a 1/4". And it works just fine now.
This is what happens - it skips for awhile - a few days and I try to fix it and can't. then it just starts sewing fine again as if nothing was wrong. No explanation for why it does this.
Yes I cleaned it thouroughly.
I changed the needle
I tried several diff threads
I changed the bobbin
Yes i am using the bobbin that came with it
I rethread it several times.
no I don't have it serviced.
I don't have a clue why it skips off and on and then runs right for several months and then does it again.
I've done everything except stand on my head.
The only thing that happened is it decided to skip and then it decided to stop skipping.
Nothing I did made any difference.
It has skipped several times before.
The last time I thought it was because I had the needle in backwards. When I put the needle in right it stopped skipping. But this time that didn't help
Another time it was skipping and I changed threads and it stopped skipping.
But that didn't help this time.
No idea!
But it is working just fine now!!! For how long tho?? is anyone's guess.
