I need help with why my machine is skipping stitches.
I have a new Janome Artistic 18 and it was working great once I got King Tut Thread but now it skips stitches when it goes backward. I even unplugged the the encoders and it still skips! Any ideas?
I have rethreaded the machine.
Put in a new Needle
Reloaded the bobbin
And it still skips when I do any sort of backward motion.
I'm calling the dealer tomorrow but in the meantime ... any ideas???

I had a similar problem with my Janome. I can't free motion on it, but it works just fine with a walking foot.
Make sure you're using the right size bobbin and that it's inserted correctly. I was using "whatever bobbin" and then threw out all my bobbins and bought new ones. That helped a LOT! But I'm sure others aren't as dumb as I was!

Do you have a stitch regulator? Press all the connections together, making sure they are tight, even if they look connected. I press mine in on a regulare basis, in case they vibrate loose.
I have also had to press (one time bend) where the encoder wheel meets the track. I was having the same problem it looks like you are having. Good luck.
