I recently had this same problem, had my machine repaired it was the bobbin case, it had a scratch in it. It works like a charm now! good luck

When that happens to me I generally take the thread out, the bobbin out, and the needle out..

If I haven't changed the needle in a while I do that.. make sure it is put in all the way and faces the correct way.. If it's down to far or twisted a bit the hook will miss the thread..

Make sure the bobbin area is clean also.. then carefully re-thread.. Stop at the point and make sure the needle is starting back up.... Let the machine pick up that bobbin thread before you pivot.

Also try another needle size.. and/or use a bit of "Sewers Aid" on your needle. Sometimes a bit of static electricty builds up on the needle and pushes the tread away from the needle..

One of those things always fixes it for me. I hope it works for you too!

Start back at the begining,using a can of air clean all the thread passage, remove bobbin and clean with air, change needles and check size, rethread and try again.this is what I do. Hope this helps.

Well this morning I finally got back to this quilt and machine issue. Cleaned the bobbin area, changed needle, rethreaded, and still it would skip. Played around with the tension and it seems to be fine. I checked to make sure that the loops were meeting inside the layers and they are. So my fix is what someone suggested here. I push the needle up button and then back down into the same spot to make sure its secure. Takes a little extra time but well worth the extra effort. Thank you all for you're helpful advice. You would think as long as I've been sewing I'd have things figured out, but no, I'm still learning everyday and loving it! Thanks again.

The thing is with a brand new machine, you shouldn't have to do that. I'd still take it in and get it fixed.

That's what I would guess...turning the corner too fast.
