using Medium weight tear away stabalizer and sulky thread. It just keeps skipping stitches. I changed my needle and bobbin and retread my machine no luck. I worked on something from emblibrary and it is fine. Maybe I ned to try downloading them again.

I think you need to let the site know - you are having trouble - or maybe you need a heavier stablizier. Try doubling it - on one design. *4U

Emblibrary's patterns stitch out so well compared to most other digitizers, that they are hard to compare to in my books. I agree with trying a different stabilizer. That might give you better results.

Try using a diferent type of strabilizer, maybe cutaway. Although they have many freebies I have never downloaded from their site so I can't say it is the design. Good luck *

I joined this site a few weeks ago haven't had a chance to stitch anything out as yet. They have a lot of patterns,hopefully they are ok.

I have never downloaded from that site. I have found that with some flannel, I do better if I starch it and use a spray adhesive to attach the tear-a-way. I then float another piece below of the same tear a way. Hope you get it resolved.;)

All freebies r not created equal nonmusic mom & it does pay to try out a design before actually sewing on whatever U r going to do. It might very well b your stabalizer. I usually use med wt stabalizer with the flannel & often use WSS on top. Sorry U have had problems 84U

I am sewing on an extra scrape of the same material. Tried lots of changes. Must be the design. Thanks for the help.

If the design u are using is a small one try it on a different material & if it sews well then u know it is the material & or Stabalizer. Also try slowing your machine down. *4u

Medium weight tear away stabilizer should be fine if you use 2 layers. I always use tear away on everything and have had no problems. Sulky thread should also be fine if you have had no trouble with them before. Some mahines don't like them. They work fine on my Janome. Have you cleaned under your plate on your machine. That can get very dusty and chocked up with residue from stabilizers and fabric and glue.This is the single most common reason with problems apart from blunt needles.
