When stopping to turn a corner,
the machine skips a stitch
At the corner, bury the needle to the bottom
of its travel and allow it to rise 1/8 inch. In this
spot, raise the presser foot and then pivot the
work on the needle to change sewing direction.
Drop the foot to continue sewing. Follow this
process to achieve the best quality corner stitch
and minimize the skipping of stitches at turns.

When removing fabric from under
the machine it pulls hard and
three strands of thread come up
through the throat plate
This usually happens when fabric is being
removed during the middle of a stitch cycle.
The hook under the machine still has a loop of
thread around it.
Before removing fabric from under the machine,
manually turn the machine forward until the
take-up arm (p. 11, 10 H) has just passed the
top of its travel. This allows the hook to release
the thread loop and proper upper tension to be
applied to finish the stitch.
