Yes, can adjust stitch length, width and the speed of the machine. Stitch length for that stitch was pre-set at 2.5, width at 3.5 and I had the machine on a somewhat medium speed, I wanted to make sure I was getting a straight seam with it. Once I get the jam cleared, I don't think I'm going to use the walking foot again for a bit to see if that helps.
The stitch I'm using goes forward two stitches, back one stitch, forward two stitches, back one stitch. It mimics hand sewing when we use a double thread. I'm also not going to use that stitch for a while and see if the jam happens again with something else. It kind of bums me out if there may be a glitch somewhere that's not allowing me to use that stitch, I was really liking the results when it worked but now I'm completely gun shy from using it again.
