I was off on one of my bunny trails and thought of you when I happened across this web page -

Joe gave you a lot of good info. I'm a little more cautious (sometimes, LOL) and try other things first.
When I first read your post, my thought that it just might that since you had trouble winding the bobbin that it may not be evenly wound and manifests the skipped stitches at the places the bobbin is uneven. Another thought I had was that if I remember correctly the zigzag works better with the tension is set differently than straight stitching. When I was skimming over the above link, I also noticed the two needle plates- one for straight stitching and one for zigzag. There is a
thread here recently about how much better a machine does straight stitching while using a straight stitch plate.
As for posting pictures, my response is:
We like pictures. In order to post pictures on Quilting Board, you will probably need to reduce or compress the picture to a
file size that is smaller than 2MB. How to post images can be found at

Don't forget to scroll over to the far right to find and click on the "
Upload" button.
I have found that only the big red "Reply" button or "Quote" work to give me the paper clip icon to work for adding pictures.

Some additional info regarding reducing images at post #4 and images for the scroll and upload button can be found at #5 of
quilt block ID?
