I have googled this problem all night and can't find any solutions. I just bought a new Singer Advance sewing machine. It is sewing one material fine. I don't know kinds of fabric, but I am trying to sew a different kind (more stretchy) and the machine will not pick up the under stitch. It will catch occasionally, but maybe 1 out of 15 stitches.
I have tried changing the tension, used different needles, re-threaded it, Nothing helps. Maybe I haven't tried the right combination. Like I said, it sews other materials fine. Are some materials just not sew-able? Can someone help?

Do you have the manual? If not, you can get a free download from the Singer website - be sure to have the model number (usually on the front of the machine) to retrieve the exact booklet for your machine.
As for your current problem, it sounds as though you are skipping a set-up step, possibly stitch width but it could also be the stretch stitch setting itself.
The best thing to do is find your manual and follow the set-up instructions for the stitch you want to make.
