What should I do if the stitches on my Brother CS-80 are skipping?

Skipped stitches can be caused by a dull or bent needle. Replace the needle with a new one that is appropriate for your fabric. Also, ensure the needle is inserted correctly and fully into the needle clamp.

Regular maintenance includes cleaning the bobbin case area and feed dogs with a small brush to remove lint and dust. Apply a drop of sewing machine oil to the designated spots in the manual. Always unplug the machine before cleaning.

Loud noises can be due to debris in the bobbin area. Remove the bobbin case, clean out any lint or thread, and reassemble the machine. Ensure all parts are correctly tightened and the needle is not bent.

Adjust the tension by turning the tension dial on the front of the machine. Lower numbers reduce tension (for lighter fabrics), and higher numbers increase tension (for heavier fabrics). Test on scrap fabric to find the correct setting.
