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 did some adjustments to my machine by setting the tension looser and also by unscrewing the pressure so there is less pressure on the foot. I then did a practice quilt sandwich and it seems to be working a lot better. I am not sure how far up you can screw the pressure foot but I may try doing it a little more.
