I've been having problems with my stitches on my Singer 15-91. I know the
problem lies with the needle, which I have changed twice. The stitches keep
skipping. It will sew well and then all of a sudden the threads don't
catch - then it continues as if nothing was wrong. I hope I'm explaining
this properly.
Can anyone come up with an explanation?

Is it possible it is a timing or bobbin issue?
If you have changed the needle twice, and they are from separate
batches/packages, I wouldn't assume it is the needle.
I honestly know extremely little abou these things but my first
instinct is that either the spool is wound funny or the bobbin is.....
I've probably been no real help whatsoever, but that's my guess....

What brand are you using? Singer needles
are slightly longer than Schmetz
needles. So, I cannot use Singer needles
on non-Singer SM. Maybe the reverse is
true. PAT

That's probably the problem, I just picked up some Schmetz needles. I
wonder if I can use them
in my Elna?
