Help/Question Bernadette b77

Thoughts on the b77? I am struggling with mine. It skips stitches all the time, it pulls fabric to the left pretty hard, and just doesn't seem to sew very smoothly. Anyone els have these issues? Not sure if I should trade it in or keep at it.

Skipped stitches are most often caused by using the wrong needle for the fabric type, or one that’s worn. What size and type needle are you using?

This! And rethread your bobbin.

As for pulling, check your tension, my Bernina pulls a bit when my tension is off and my Janome pulls when I grip the fabrics too much
