Yellow Band Needle
Try using a yellow band needle if your machine is skipping stitches. An alternative is to let your regular machine needle drop down about 1/8 of an inch to add extra length. The longer needle allows the top thread to get down to the bobbin hook more easily so that it doesn't skip a stitch.Reproducing or transmitting this tip by any means for any purpose other than for personal use constitutes a violation of copyright law.
