I think I was wrong - it seems to jump back about 10 to 12 stitches - not forward.

Initially I thought it was the tape, but I don't have the problem when I changed to a new needle, soI'm convinced that it's the needle position itself. The thread never actually breaks, but I get a thread break message and have to use stitch backto re-start. Is this enough info???
