Just ramble in all directions. If it skips intermittently while holding the pieces steady, I'd say it needs servicing. Or it could be the way you are moving the layers. I have the same problem when I cannot get a tight enough grip. Also try some very snug neoprine gloves. E-mail me via my blog if it does not work and I may come up with some new ideas.

That sounds like me too thesedays...I think with Christmas racing up soon, we'll all be hollaring for help--LOL! Love the Barbie Staircase Show happening there...sooo sweet! But don't break your neck ;o) Wish I could help with the free motion quilting issue you're having. I don't even have free motion, still doing all hand quilting...Hope you get it sorted out. Taking it for service might be a good idea. Let us know how it goes. And super new that DJ is in the home stretch! Happy week to you all ((HUGS)) HELP!

(now whether your sanity will still be intact is another issue -- for that, no promises).

It just doesn't like a lot of layers. I have noticed in my Janome that sometimes the bobbin comes unseated and if I clean around it, that can help. Sometimes. Oh- and the tip about going slowly when it is working correctly is a good one. And I also found a little divot in the side of the bobbin case once- it was catching the thread as it went around. That was a pain. I hope you get it figured out. I have the same problems on my little Janome… It just doesn’t like a lot of layers.

Mine skips if I continue to sew but have forgotten to put the foot back down - I use a Bernina 29 foot which is quite a big circle. As for different threads I never have a problem with that - always use Bottom Line underneath as the bobbins last for ages and it gives off less lint - on the top I use a whole pile of different threads for quilting and piecing. Other than that have you tried threading the bobbin thread through the tiny hole on the arm of the bobbin case - I don't but have read somewhere that it can help. Hope you find a solution - it's very frustrating when you can't make progress yes I was going to echo Kate – try a different fabric.

Sometimes if a fabric is particularly tightly woven it can cause this problem. Have you tried test stitching on a different fabric – like a calico sandwich?
