I oiled and lubricated the foot, checked for any snags on the cute little toes and found nothing. Put it back on the machine and ran it without thread to get the oil/lubricant spread around. Put in the thread and it sewed beautifully. Then I put in my little purse to stitch and back to skipping.......
I had a new needle in both the machines I've tried the foot on. Wonder if I should try a higher number? Maybe there is some deflection going on? I really want this baby to work.
