Skipping quilt stitches
I have a Janome 7700 and all of a sudden stitches are skipping when I try to free motion quilt. No problem using the walking foot foot stitch in the ditch. I've changed the needle, the thread , re threaded the needle, cleaned out the bobbin. Don't like messing with the tension. Any other ideas of what I should try?

Also be sure that you're not pulling on the fabric, causing the needle to deflect so that it can't form a stitch. Sometimes using a stronger needle will help in this case, but not pulling on the fabric is a better solution.

if it's the needle, it might be a matter of size rather than having gotten dull.
if you try all the other suggestions and still have the problem try moving up one needle size.
