Singer 301 on a Quilt Frame?
A couple days ago I was reading a thread in which advice was given for using the 301 on frame. I didn't bookmark it, and now can't find it again....I have a couple inches of successful stitches and then the machine jams and there is a big thread nest on the bottom side. I must admit, I'm not using a darning foot, but instead have on the gathering foot and the presser foot pressure as low as it will go. I see the error in my ways, but I'm not sure I want to invest in ordering a proper darning foot. (I'm on the verge of buying a Bailey 17 or a Crown Jewel.) The machine sews perfect seam when used in the standard fashion. The presser foot is down, the bobbin's threaded properly, machine is oiled and clean, needle is sharp and straight, feed dogs all the way down, stitch length selector set at zero, I've threaded and rethreaded the machine. Am I forgetting anything? Could it be the foot, or lack there of? Thanks.
