Trudy,
Are your feed dogs all the way up? There is knob under the lift up bed extension the lowers the feed dogs. Could it have been moved?

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.
