i did all, i was so good girl! but my machine thinks differently :cry:
i changed the thread, i changed the needle accordinly, i checked it was brand new so it is fine.
i based with glue spray, it didnt hold it self, so i just add secure pins all over. the badding is poly.
och, i dont know why, i think i will write to bernina, if i will get an answer from them, i will let you know!
cheers
thanks for all the help!

I'd change your needle even if you think it's ok and move the fabric slower. :?

Here's a check list:
are the needle & thread paired well? (Check the Superior website http://www.superiorthreads.com/media/uploads/2011/12/08/files/Reference_Guide_-_HOME_12-11.pdf) for a guide on what needles and thread go together.
is the top tension too tight
is the bobbin tension too tight.
How did you baste? Did you over spray?
Do you have the stitch length set at zero?

i use 1230 bernina, i tried to slow down the speed, not helping.
i do have BSR, but due to the fact it is free motion quilting i use the food that like open ring for it.
what i realise it that if i change direction it start to quilt again, but for few second and again i need to change, it isnt that fun when you follow a quilt pattern.
is any body can help PLEASE. thanks in advance

Have you tried to slow down the speed?
I don't know which machine you use. I use my Bernina 440 and if I use the BSR foot, it skips stitches no matter what I do (higher presser foot tension also tried) so I always use the darning foot and there is no problem. The BSR foot trained me to use the darning foot :roll:

hi all,
small problem, when i do free motion quilting on my sewing machine, it happens that it skips few stitches and then pick the bobbin again.
i hope it is clear discribing the problem. any one could help me to prevent it please.
until now i did check the needle, it is strate, good on the sewing machine, lower the tention or higher the tenntion i tried it all.
