Thank you for asking this question. I started having this issue tonight. Never thought about changing the needle.

Single hole plate and sharp needle will fix that.

This is the way to do it. The rectangle holds the corner of the square.

one trick I use, put tention on the thread by pulling it back when you start to sew...it helps

Also you may want to try a leader piece of fabric.

Amen. Worked like a charm for me.

Try using a scrap piece of fabric before your actual sewing piece and that slides your piece right in.

also could just be the fabric, since it looks like it is an open weave type fabric.

This is not happening on everyone but when I am trying to chain stitch and i am stopping to pull out the fabric and then get the knot out of the corner of the fabric I start to throw a fit.;)

Any advice would be appreciated. Oh, and I am going to change the needle and see if that helps. I am starting to hear that popping sound when my needle gets dull.

An older lady once told me "always lower needle into fabric THEN lower foot and sew. " This always works for me. Hope this helps although I see you have had plenty of good tips.
