Issues with a 4-thread serger seam

I made this top yesterday using my serger. First time with knits and it went ok.


But I had some serger issues.


The second needle thread on my serger kept skipping as soon as I sewed across more than two layers of fabric (e.g. neck band and shoulder seam). The thread would go into the fabric but wouldn't catch. It's hard to explain what it looked like without a picture, but I was in the middle of sewing and trying to fix it, I didn't take the time to take a pic.


Does it sound familiar? Is there something wrong with my machine or just with the settings?
