I've done that myself:< The pressure may need to be tweaked. I would try using a larger needle and increase the pressure and see how that goes? You may just have to sew fleece on a machine that you can get the proper needle for.
This machine is as much different as it is the same as other machines. Hope that makes some sense.
And since I have no options in the needles other than size that limits my experimentation with it.
Another confusion is that every other machine we've got, Singer and others too, will sew fleece with regular thread, needles and feet.
This one will not form a stitch in fleece except if I turn the hand wheel manually. So, I'm gonna do some under the hood checking and see if something might be a bit out of adjustment there. It just doesn't seem right that it will form a stitch in everything else, but not fleece.
You think it might cooperate if I threaten to part it out ..........
