Yes, I was told by Bernina that the manual is wrong, and that the presser foot setting should be left at 47. I also had my dealer update the software and firmware, and replace the spring on the BSR. I just got it back and so far I'm not having a problem. Using a needle with an eye that's too small can also cause skipping. I always use the topstitch needle because it has a larger eye and creates a larger loop of thread for the bobbin to catch when making the stitch. On another topic, has anyone purchased the quilt frame that Bernina has now?

I'm not having stitch skipping issues, I'm just wanting my stitch length to be a bit longer and am having some tension probs. dinking with the stitch length. I've not taken my free classes yet, so am hoping they'll help me sort it out. When I bought my machine the "special" was either the quilt frame or a table. I chose the table...

I was doing some quilting on my Downy quilts and was still getting skipped stitches while leaving the presser foot at the normal setting.
My machine is telling me it's time for service so sometime in the next couple of weeks I will take my BSR foot and tell them I want a new spring installed!!
