Flagging, explained
Flagging causes skipped stitches, loops, poor registration and birdnests, and it is most common with loosely hooped fabric, floated items and the curved front of caps. Hoop the fabric and stabilizer firmly, add a layer of stabilizer or an adhesive backing, and, where the machine allows, set the presser foot just clear of the fabric. The problems and fixes guide covers the other usual suspects.
