Thanks I will check. I know the material will pull through even when I am not touching the material. Also the dogs do come close to the front of the plate but not as close in the rear. The length of movement of the dogs does change when moving the lever but I can only get the stitch length down to 15 stitches per inch. No where near 6 stitches per inch. I can increase the stitches to almost on top of each other but can’t lengthen the stitch length down to 6 stitches per inch.
