To lessen or tighten the pressure on the foot - it is the knob directly up from the needle. Make sure the race is oiled. My Juki needs to be oiled.
I read the entire manual, even the corrections that were included. It isn't very in-depth and really only covers what each button means, how to adjust things, etc.
I tried both lessening and tightening the presser foot, with no luck. I've also narrowed down that it happens without fail the minute you switch to a stitch that isn't a straight stitch. With the straight stitch it will work pretty well for a while, then the minute you get to a thicker portion of material, it jams. If you switch to a zig zag stitch, it happens almost immediately, no matter the fabric.
I guess where I'm confused is if I have to tweak settings, I understand, but if material isn't one thickness (say a quilt sandwich) how would that work? I have to stop and adjust before a hump? (just trying to explain what is happening)
