When a Featherweight is skipping stitches, there's a timing setting called "needle/hook distance." When the tip of the hook meets the top of the eye of the needle, there should only be a thread's distance between them. If that timing setting is off, the collars have to be released and the shaft has to move the hook closer to the needle. That's something you'd probably want a tech to do. We see that at the shop quite a bit.
