Any problems with skipped stitches while quilting the multiple layers, I have a Janome and after making a couple of quilts it has started skipping

I love it for quilting. The tension is good and no skipped stitches at my house.

I had the same problem when I first started using mine. Try rethreading and reinserting your bobbin and start again. Somehow my machine has stopped doing this, but I never figured out why it did it in the first place since my thread and bobbin seemed to be just fine.

I guess it's normal. I use mine for quilt piecing and I have done some machine quilting on it. It seems to respond according to the pressure you put on the foot pedal. I love it. I have an electronic very high end machine I use for embroidery, etc. but this little guy is perfect for take along and quilting. Hope this helps. Mary

So far, so good with my DC2014. I just finished my first quilt on it and I love it so far! No problems like my older Singer, and White machines did...

Have you tried to push the round wheel in and turn it at the same time? That's if I'm understanding you correctly.If not please let me know .my serger is out in my sewing shop. If you still need help I will gladly go and recheck it and let you now what I find.

An old trick I learned when I was a kid was to put a penny on top of the head of the tone arm, the little bit of extra weight keeps the needle in the groove. If it happens with every record that might fix it, if one penny helps but doesn't stop the skipping add another. I wouldn't put more than 3 pennies on it though. I hope that works.

No. I would not buy this machine for all around quilting. I do small piece machine quilting and serge ring. I love my Janome Memory Craft 6600.machine to do bigger piece quilting and free motion. I bought Janome Jem Gold so if I am free motioning I don't have to change settings.

Hi, The pressure you apply may be the problem. I do not go fast, slow and heavy handed does the trick. I use mine for fleece fabric and only use the cutter with one layer. If I was using a fabric such as cotton, I know it would go through 2 layers. Hope this helps. Joannie &#128516;

I used several of the stretch stitches on my Brother SE400 with this foot. One problem I did have was the feed dogs on this machine aren't as strong as my old one and don't pull the fabric through as nicely. My fabric slipped a lot.

I am still working on mine....I have not had much time to devote to it. I think it would be a good beginning quilt, a lot of cross stitch on it, which is faster.

The latest answer from yesterday by "susan0624" is right on and I just finished a queen-sized quilt (108 x 108); it wouldn't have worked to do free motion with this size and all rolled up in the throat, but I used one of the fancy stitches along the seams and it worked out great; also, I think I pushed it to the limits with doing a queen-sized quilt on it.

Hi Matt, I am not that far on my quilt to know for sure. But I am planning on using it with my machine. It looks like the person in the picture shown using in it is using a regular sewing machine. So when I get this far with my quilt I will be winging it. Sorry I can't be of more help.

I always cut my bias strips with a rotary cutter and clear quilting ruler so I can get consistent sized strips. You do need to seam the strips together so there may be some inconsistencies where the seams meet. I gently pull the strip as it goes through the machine when it comes to a seam.

I've made several quilts with this machine. There was no problem stitching over multiple seams when machine quilting or through layers of quilt top, batting, backing and binding when finishing the edges. I find it dependable and easy to use.

I've never had a problem with the bobbin area. I've been using the machine a great deal in the past 6 months having made 3 full quilts and working on a 4th-and all the piecework and machine quilting that goes with that-so mine is getting a lot of usage. I had one issue with thread but I was using really cheap thread-when I changed it out to the better thread my problem went away (this was on the top end of the machine not the bobbin area). So I would suggest changing the thread, to see if the problem stops.

Yes. I did have a problem with it skipping with The Black Keys, Turn Blue. I put a weight on the needle and now it doesn't skip at all. I had to play with different weights also.

I am a new serger user, so all I can do is guess based on problems that I solved on other sewing machines. Check you needles and make sure they are not bent or rubbing. Clean all lint and dust. Rethread using manual as guide. I usually find my problem when I do those three things. Please let us know how the problem is solved when it is. :) Good luck!
