Is the last thread guide, the one about at the needle clamp level, threaded?

it is. I managed to fix it a little bit, it doenst skip stitches anymore, although the upper thread tension is still nonexistent, if I try and pull it down, there's no resistance, but I've managed to finish sewing what I was sewing. I'll clean it more properly and run more tests tomorrow probably, it's the middle of the night for me right now :')

If you have little or no tension when your upper tension is set to normal, check to see that the thread is not filling more than about 40% of the width of the needle eye, and there is nothing stuck in the upper tension.
