Machine hates anything shiny or stretchy!

[mrsflibble]

my machine keeps skipping stitches when I use shiny or stretchy fabrics. yes I am using appropriate needles, changed for every new project, and also the correct presser foot. needle plate is clean underneath, and bobbin is properly threaded so i can't fathom what's wrong. please help!

I'm using a Brother Supergalaxie.

Maybe the problem lays with the feed dog?
I have a simple machine and sometimes it won't "pull" the fabric forward. I have to give it a bit of help.

Sometimes with difficult fabrics I will sandwich it with tearaway stabilizer.

Maybe your machine is channeling Tim Gunn, who says tight and shiny is the quickest way to look cheap!
