My memory craft 2000 new home sewing maching is suddenly sewing very slowly

Is it an older mechanical machine (not computerized)? Bet it needs a good oiling. Old oil will dry out and turn to glue/varnish and actually prevents parts from moving and dragging on the motor. Use only fresh good quality sewing machine oil or Tri-Flow Synthetic Lube. Open the top, left side, and bottom of the machine. Slightly rock the handwheel and apply 1-2 drops of oil every place metal rubs on metal. Do NOT oil rubber, leather, or synthetic/nylon parts. If it is still sluggish, you can direct hot air from a handheld hairdryer into the interior mechanics of the machine to help loosen things. Older machines do need frequent oiling--ie, every time a new sewing project is begun or every six months if not in use. If a large project like a quilt, more frequent oiling may be needed. When you become familiar with the pleasing sound of a well-running machine, you will recognize when it needs some TLC. ...

First, be sure to have the presser foot in the RAISED position when threading the machine. When threading the tension disks, give each thread an extra little tug to make sure it is seated completely. Start with brand new needles. Be sure to thread the machine in the order recommended for the machine--most machines are 1) upper looper, 2) lower looper and the thread tail drapes over the upper looper, then 3) the needles. Pull all of the thread tails toward the back of the machine and under the presser foot. Start out with the tension disks set at the midway point--this is the general tension for basic overlocking, but each machine is different and they may need to be tweaked to get them where they look best.

Open the looper door and remove the lint & loose threads from inside the machine and then apply a drop or two of good quality sewing machine oil (or Tri-Flow Synthetic Lube) every place where metal rubs on metal.

New Home is no longer a brand name but you can find some basic instructions online.

Skipped stitches 1. A bent or dull needle 2. The wrong needle for your fabric knit fabrics require a jersey or ballpoint tip. Most wovens do well with a universal tip, and specialty fibers, like leather or metallic, usually require specific needles. 3. Incorrect machine threading 4. Unbalanced needle thread tension Start by making relatively small changes and run a test stitch to evaluate the impact. If you need to adjust the tension dial using woven cotton fabric with good quality all-purpose thread and a new needle 5.check the needle is inserted correctly. The needle needs to be pushed as far up the needle shaft as possible. It's easy to insert the needle half way, clamp it down and think it is inserted correctly. the flat part of the needle should be positioned towards the back. If the needle is not inserted correctly, it will not be able to pull up the bobbin thread and will cause skipped stitches. 6. If the suggestions don't help then it is time for a tune-up.

If you need a manual, search the internet for: Make + Model + the word "Manual" or contact the manufacturer. Try installing a brand new needle. A bent needle sometimes will not connect properly. Be sure that both upper and bobbin threads are threaded correctly. On the other hand, the needle/hook could be out of time. You can check that by hand turning the handwheel and watching the needle/hook movement. There are a multitude of web sites and videos that discuss timing.
