wear rubber gloves..(you can get them at walmart,gardening gloves with rubber finger tips) make sure your fabric top is as even as you can get it with the sewing machine..if it is not already.
i am thinking maybe your foot tension is to tight..if your having that much trouble moving the fabric. take your time.
you really didn't need a feed dog cover..my girlfriend uses her old drivers liscense..or a business card. her feed dogs don't go down either..older machine.
for practicing use the cheapest fabric,I use muslin, top and bottom with batting in between..and a color of thread that is totally different than the color of the fabric/muslin, so you can see what your doing easier.
