Looks like it happened in the next triangle too. Mmmmmmmmmm

Did you recent have a jam up in your machine? Could be your hook timing is just a tiny bit out. Not enough to bother regular sewing but by moving the thread just a tiny bit while sewing could unhook the thread from the timing hook leaving it free until the next stitch. Until you can get it to the shop, I'd try doing one back up stitch and then turn.

This is what I was thinking as well. Glad I read a little further.

Nope this is a brand new machine, well about 6 months old.

If you are free-motion quilting, I think you may be trying to go around the corner too fast. You should make a slight pause at each point, every time you make an abrupt direction change.

Didn't try a new needle that was too long or anything like that? Could be, I suppose that it wasn't adjusted perfectly at the factory. I'm sure you must have said what type of machine it is, I'll look. Have you looked on line for any problems with this machine make and model?

I would take it back to the shop and exchange it for another machine. It is a new machine and should not be doing anything like this in the first place. All suggestions are really good and helpful but the bottom line is that you have only just bought it and you should not have to put up with problems like this with a new machine. It should still be under warranty and I would insist on exchanging it for a brand new machine. Test out the new machine with your threads and make sure there is not a problem with it before taking it away with you. Best wishes and good luck.

I'm interested in the answer too

Looks like you turned it with needle up or your needle was not all the way down so when you started to sew it didn't complete the stitch

Well after reading the last couple of post I guess I'll call the dealer where I bought it. Its a brother quilter, maybe she could answer this problem. I just assumed it was something I was doing wrong and had nothing to do with the machine itself, but I could be wrong.

I can't find it, what is the type of machine you have, make, model, model number??

I would try making two stitches in the same spot by turning the wheel by hand after turning the stitch length to zero, just remember to turn it back to the original setting before stitching the new side!

I always do two stitches on points. That is a great idea for fixing the boo boo!

the needle has to go all the way down and just starts back up before you raise your pressure foot and turn the point, hope this works.

d.swindle

I've had this problem and let the needle start back up and then turn.

I don't know. Hope some one call you something.

Is it an electronic needle down or a 'hand turned' needle down? If you're turning the wheel it may not be completing a stitch?

moving too fast in the intersection??

Looks to me like your tension if causing the problem.
Try adjusting your top tension and try it on an scrap folded in half. If that doesn't do it try to adjust your bobbin tension. Hope this helps.

I just had this problem and thought I was going crazy.
I tried all the above suggestions over and over again.

I finally ended up starting the whole shabang over doing one thing at a time. It ended up it was the tension. It took a couple days. Seriously! I was at it one night for about an hour. the next night for the sam amount of time. I researched everything.

Try doing everything suggested but 1 step at a time. Finally change the tension 1 little turn at a time and it will clean up. Good luck

I recently had this same problem, had my machine repaired it was the bobbin case, it had a scratch in it. It works like a charm now! good luck

What kind of a brother?

When that happens to me I generally take the thread out, the bobbin out, and the needle out..

If I haven't changed the needle in a while I do that.. make sure it is put in all the way and faces the correct way.. If it's down to far or twisted a bit the hook will miss the thread..

Make sure the bobbin area is clean also.. then carefully re-thread.. Stop at the point and make sure the needle is starting back up.... Let the machine pick up that bobbin thread before you pivot.

Also try another needle size.. and/or use a bit of "Sewers Aid" on your needle. Sometimes a bit of static electricty builds up on the needle and pushes the tread away from the needle..

One of those things always fixes it for me. I hope it works for you too!

Start back at the begining,using a can of air clean all the thread passage, remove bobbin and clean with air, change needles and check size, rethread and try again.this is what I do. Hope this helps.

Well this morning I finally got back to this quilt and machine issue. Cleaned the bobbin area, changed needle, rethreaded, and still it would skip. Played around with the tension and it seems to be fine. I checked to make sure that the loops were meeting inside the layers and they are. So my fix is what someone suggested here. I push the needle up button and then back down into the same spot to make sure its secure. Takes a little extra time but well worth the extra effort. Thank you all for you're helpful advice. You would think as long as I've been sewing I'd have things figured out, but no, I'm still learning everyday and loving it! Thanks again.

The thing is with a brand new machine, you shouldn't have to do that. I'd still take it in and get it fixed.

That's what I would guess...turning the corner too fast.
