TIP: I have found that when I have embroidery with skipped stitches it usually is caused by an old needle. So I have faithly decided to change my needle every 6-8 hours of use. An old dull needle can cause lots of trouble, but mostly with skipped stitching. I hope this helps.

Good idea, but don't change it, if you haven't stitched with it for 6-8 hours, you don't want to waste them, either.

Thanks for your tip, but mine sew for very much longer than this and I hardly/never have skipped stitches. I guess I need it to break before I do change it.
happy Stitching!

How lucky you are.
Never wait for a needle to break before you change your needle....you are probably damaging your machine...burs on the needle can cause damage to your needle plate, your shuttle and your timing.
