Has this ever happened to you?

Yes, I have had it happen to me. It is so frustrating. It too was with a batik. This one blue batik fabric gave me all sorts of fritzes. I had just purchased a new machine and I thought there was something wrong with the machine until I was able to isolate it to that one blue fabric. All the other batiks that I was using worked just fine. I did change the needle to a sharp from a universal and that helped but didn't totally eliminate the problem.
My theory on why it was doing this is that there was something in the fabric that was making the piercing the fabric with the needle, going down to the bobbin and picking up the thread to make the stitch process just delayed enough the timing of the whole process was off. I was sure glad when I finished that project and have never used that fabric again.
