That could make the feed dogs act up. I have brothers and other brand machines that I use, and some are touchier than others.Suzy

Thanks, Suzy, I'll do that, but since the machine is BRAND new, and has been doing it from the beginning, I'm not hopeful. I now know just how spoiled I've been by Janome and Elna.
I love my Janome, but it is very sensitive to dust in the bobbin case and the feed dogs. Just vacuuming will clear the problem. But in the case of a new machine, it is probably something else.
