My fabric is not feeding properly

 


  1. Check the stitch length to see if it is set at no feeding (0), if so, reset the stitch length to between 2 and 3.
  2. Check your needle is not damaged. Insert a new needle; making sure the flat side of the needle is toward the back.
  3. Check to see if the feed dogs are up. The feed dogs are up and will help guide the fabric.
  4. Check to see if the thread is tangled.
      • Unthread the machine and remove the bobbin from the bobbin case.
      • Clean underneath the needle plate and remove any lint or loose threads.
      • Rethread the unit completely.  Be sure to use the correct needle and thread size for the fabric you are sewing. 
      • (Example: Denim-size 16 needle and 40-50 heavy duty thread). One Point advice Be sure that the darning plate is not installed on the needle plate.
