srichardson Posted November 13, 2020 Report Share Posted November 13, 2020 Have you tried changing your needle and checking the thread path for burrs? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimerickson Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 Sounds like you might need to re-time your machine (for the skipped stitches). The colored dots on the backing sounds like a very dull needle. Good luck. Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jimerickson Posted November 17, 2020 Report Share Posted November 17, 2020 As I think more about it, I have a question. Is the quilt top or back a batik fabric? Due to the usual tight weave, and some of the coloring agents used on this type fabric, stitching can sometimes be a problem. If you are using batik fabric, got to a larger needle, and use sewer's aid, or some other silicon lube for your needle and thread. Good luck. That just might solve your problems.

I would say change the needle. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
