Skipped Stitches
I'm trying to straight line quilt using 12 weight thread and the stitches keep skipping. Tension on a practice piece looks OK. I have rethreaded the needle, checked the bobbin, put a new needle in, changed the bobbin, but the skipped stitches continue. I'm using a Superior Titanium coated Top Stitch 90/14 needle. Thread does not seem to be catching or shredding in the needle. It sews fine when I use 50 wt. thread. Anyone have any ideas on what else I can try? I'm on a very limited budget so am trying to avoid a trip to the technician.
DD and I are going to IQF tomorrow and I'm hoping Superior will have a booth so I can get a package of 100/?? Top Stitch needles to see if that may work.
