Any help would be appreciated! Thanks!
Do the feed dogs move back and forth if you turn the handwheel? No amount of cleaning and oiling is going to help if the feed dogs are lowered. You can find how to lower the feed dogs for darning on page 35 of this manual

Ismacs has a comprehensive model list and for 0-99 models can be found at

Needlebar has some 15 model differences at

Of course cleaning and oiling are a good thing to do no matter if feed dogs are lowered or raised
