I have the correct needle size. I have reset needle several times. I have attempted adjusting tension. It does not matter what type of fabric it skips stitches on all types.

Make sure your machine is threaded correctly. Most of the time the cause is the needle, try a new sewing machine needle. You can read more by clicking here Sewing Machine Trouble Shooting
