Randa, I'd say you need to 'mess with the stitch length setting' again and get it back to where you were when it was stitching! Remember, all the trouble I had when I started using my Davis Vertical Feed? It took me two months and I was ready to throw that machine out the window, when I finally got it right! It was the stitch regulator knob all the time, I just kept moving it ever so slightly until it finally stitched! I think Glenn went through the same thing with his Davis? I know you are working with a New Home, but don't give up. Maybe, Cathy will have some words of wisdom for you. My words of wisdom are, keep trying! You'll get it right eventually - sometimes these old machines just need some encouragement and patience!
