I have tried all of the fixes I can remember: cleaning the lint out of the
bobbin casing and surrounds, replacing the bobbin, re-threading the machine.
What am I missing?

Have you checked to see if your needle is in correctly? I know my needle
has a flat back and round front - the flat back must face the back of the
machine - or big messes happen - like skipped stitches. It's so easy to put
the needle in wrong.

But don't use Singer needles in non-Singer machines. Can lead to lots of
other problems.

Check thread for knots and burrs.
Look for lint under presser feet.
Check to see if thread is getting caught in notch at spool end, or
hung up elsewhere along thread path.
Be sure needle-thread tension isn't too tight.
Presser foot should be raised for bobbin winding.
Stitch pattern disc (if machine has one) is properly seated.
Try a needle specifically made for reducing skipped stitches-- Singer
yellow band are one such needle.
