janome sewing machine skipping stitches.
my janome 1600p is skipping stitches and breaking threads. i tested it before i put the and it was fine. what makes this happen when i put a quilt on? I have picked out stitches until i am ready to give up. any ideas would be appreciated. I have changed the needle cleaned the feed dogs loosened the thread tension nothing works . this quilt is a Christmas present, looks like it may not get finished. My husband says get rid of the machine but i think it is probably a tension problem and i will be first to say i don't know much about getting good tension.
