5 Skipped stitches can mean one of two things: needle issues or disrupted timing. First, your needle may be dull or damaged and needs to be replaced. You should also check that you are using the correct needle for the type of fabric you are sewing. For example, knit and synthetic fabric requires a ballpoint SINGER needle (style 2045). Next, check the needle is inserted correctly. The needle needs to be pushed as far up the needle shaft as possible. (It’s easy to insert the needle half way, clamp it down and think it is inserted correctly.) Also, the flat part of the needle should be positioned towards the back. If the needle is not inserted correctly, it will not be able to pull up the bobbin thread and will cause skipped stitches. If the trouble shooting tips above did not correct the problem, please take your machine into a SINGER service center. It is possible the timing on the machine has been disrupted and needs to be reset.
