Hi Bestie,
When your machine starts skipping stitches, it’s tempting to go straight for the tension dial.
But before you change a setting that may already be correct, check something much simpler:
Your needle.
A tiny problem at the needle can show up as a much bigger problem in your stitching.
Why The Needle Matters...
Every stitch depends on a split-second handoff.
As the needle carries the top thread down through the material, it creates the loop the hook needs to catch.
That happens over and over again as you sew.
But if the needle is bent, damaged, incorrectly installed, or poorly matched to the material, that handoff may not happen cleanly.
The hook misses the loop.
The stitch never forms.
And you see a skip.
So while skipped stitches can have other causes, your needle is one of the simplest places to start troubleshooting.
