I read everywhere ballpoint beedles prevent skipped stitches and holes
so on, but with my yellow band singer needles I get holes, and also
skipped stitches. It goes better with universal/sharp point!!! At least
I dont get skipped stitches, is it possible or I choose wrong size or
something like that?

Is your machine a Singer? If not, that's a problem. Needles for a
Singer machines are a little bit longer than needles for most other
machines. A Singer needle in a non-Singer machine can skip. A
non-Singer needle in a Singer machine can skip.
The other question is "on what fabric"? Ball-point needles are for
use on knits. They can skip stitches on woven fabrics. And that's
just a general guideling. There are some knit fabrics which sew
better with a universal point needle, and some wovens which sew better
with a ball-point.
It's also possible that you're using the wrong size needle. What are
you sewing, and what size needle are you using?

Hi, I have an old Singer model, 367!
Honestly, I 've used various sizes that comes in the assorted packs,
and didnt take care of remember the size, but in example this afternoon
I was sewing a stretch lace trim on a lightweight flannel and skipped.
Also, I'd like to try the Stretch needles but I dont know if they are
compatible with my machine and if I can buy an other brand (like
Organ).
Thanks for replying :)

You can use any brand needle. Stretch needles would be better for that work.
Also try the right or left needle positions or the straight stitch foot and
needle plate. Your work may be flagging, that is the material is pulled
slightly into the needle hole and then closes the thread loop causing a
skipped stitch.
You may end up just giving up as many older machines have some difficulty
with stretchy materials.

Yeah, that's why she (the machine) hasnt the stretch stitch , she
ignores modern materials.
Now I have another problem, today I bought sharp 110 needles for jeans
sewing and find out they dont fit in the machine, too big! I just can't
insert them!!!! I can't work with denim neither ? Stupid 60's sewing
machines!! :> ( I'm kidding, actually I like my sewing machine )
Do you think it's a brand matter?
