Skipped stitches
I have a Bernina 440 QE machine and lately when I use my walking foot and it is something thick like a potholder and I use zig zag I have good stitches and then it skips and makes longer ones and then back to correct and then skips again. Has anyone had this problem?

Mine will sometimes miss a zig zag on something thick as if the top thread doesn't meet up with the bobbin hook like it should. My 440 had to have a major repair after the timing went out from hitting something. It has been good on most things but will occasionally miss a zig zag.

I do think my machine needs to be taken in for a check up. I keep it clean but it probably needs some adjustments because I hit and broke a needle a few times. I am using a 90/14. thanks for the help.

Although you mention it only doing it with the walking foot...when my machine did it it was because i had neglected to clean the lint out of my bobbin case for a while. Just suggesting you take a look at that.
