Could be any number of things.
Things you can do. Insert new needles the correct way. Check, double check,
then have someone check your checks as to the threading of the machine.
Check your knives. If they are dull it can cause skipped stitches. Take a
single strand of thread and put it between the knives as far back as it can
go. Turn the machine over by hand and observe the thread. If it pushes
towards you the knives are becoming dull. It should cut it off clean with no
movement
