Help with skipping stitches! PLEASE!
#1
I am making hats and scarves for kids, some for my DGK's and some for charity. I am having a problem with my machine skipping stitches; I am using fleece. I noticed with the last quilt I used the fleece for I had the same problem. I have torn the machine down and took out a pile of "fluff" and oiled the machine, and changed the needle. Does anyone have a solution to this delemma? I am getting VERY frustrated. I have a Janome 6282 and a featherweight, both seem to have this issue. I am sure it is the fabric. Thanks for any and all help.

When I sew fleece (I make a lot of double layer fleece mitts) I don't use a straight stitch. I use a slight zig zag stitch and loosen the tension and foot pressure a little and this seems to help prevent skipping.
