Mine does this occasionally - for some reason ever once in a while it pops out of the little spring wire that takes up that tiny bit more of slack from the uptake lever. I have yet to figure out how it happens as with my machine, it's darn near impossible - but it happens. When that little bit of slack does not get pulled up, when the needle goes down it loops wrong and the hook grabs wrong.
I've found if I add an extra loop to the upper thread path, that helps keep a bit more tension on the thread and does help. I run it from one spool holder loop to a second spool holder loop and then to the machine - or if on the machine, to a spool holder loop and then back to the machine. Longarms have a lot of problems with thread as they sew very fast - and use a lot more thread holders between the spool and the tension to keep loops that form as the thread whips around from getting pulled into the tension and messing things up. |
skipped stitches is often caused by the needle
|
Take the stitch plate off and double check that there isn't a piece of thread stuck in there, either from a bad cut or a broken thread.
I had a similar and it was a real pain as I was using poly clear thread. Try to find that in the feed dogs. |
I agree with Tartan since we both have a Bernina. This happens just occasionally to me too. I just re-thread and continue quilting.

Superior needles are Organ.

I can see in your photo, that your needle thread is twisted around the needle shaft.....Check threading and that your threadsin the take up lever.
|
I agree it has to be in the way it is threaded or the placing of the bobbin. If it is happening on two machines it indicates I am doing something incorrect. Although it is a vintage machine, my machine calls for the bobbin to be placed where the thread is coming off in 1 direction. If I reverse it, it won't sew correctly.
|
It is probably backlash . Tighten up the tension spring on your bobbin and maybe put a small paper disc kind of like a washer beneath your bobbin.
|
I have also seen it when the foot lever is not lowered all the way to the fabric you are sewing.
|
My machine doesn't like a certain bobbin that is supposed to be for that machine. Or your bobbin may have been bent or stepped on.
