New 301A - pressure problem
Just got my first 301A. Appears in great shape!!!! Did some cleaning and oiling; runs smoothly. I have been experimenting with what the machine can do. Great stitching through mid-weight fabrics. However, when I tried sewing on heavy webbing, I got fabric creep. I did adjust the foot pressure but it seemed to affect the perfect tension I had going with the mid-weight fabric. Any suggestions?
Then I tried stitching through a quilt sandwich (two layers of fabric and one layer of batting). Again there top fabric creeped over the lower fabric. I did try adjusting the foot pressure in both with no result. Will I have to resort to a walking foot?
Any suggestions you have for a 301A newbie --those little quirks each machine has-- will be appreciated.
