Great News!!! Hubby evidently got tired of the dining table piled with tools, sergers, parts and the blue streak coming from me! Not really...He just knew I had reached my limit. He found that the set screws on the shaft of the stitch length adjustment had worked loose and were out of position. He worked with it until they were in their proper 'notches'(?). Excuse my terminology, but it works! Oh, it was the Babylock 5180 that wouldn't feed fabric.....Forgot to explain that!
