201 Walking Foot Problem
I am trying to do SITD on my Singer 201. I bought the correct walking foot for this machine from sew-classic. Now the problem seems to be that the foot doesn't seem to be feeding the top layer at all. I have tried working with the pressure foot knob on top of the machine but I can't see any difference when I have it all the way down or when I have it unscrewed about 1/4 of an inch. I just can't figure out why the walking foot doesn't want to feed. I have looked at it beside my brother walking foot and they both seem to work the same way. However, I have no trouble with the brother walking foot feeding properly. Do any of the wonderful, knowledgeable people on this board have an answer for me.

I returned a straight stitch walking foot to Sew-Classic because of that very reason just before Christmas. It looked identical to the others as it worked, but it just wouldn't feed the fabric.
I don't know what it's troubles were.

It sounds like the wrong walking foot, and that is not like Jenny at Sew Classic. E-mail her and see what she says. She'll make it right for you. You do have the piece of projecting metal around the needle screw, right? And the screw on the left side of the foot is tight?
