Is this normal?
I have a Singer Featherweight 221. It works perfect for piecing fabric together and making garments. But I've noticed that it tends to get stuck when I have more layers with the fabric, like if I'm sewing a binding on for a quilt. Usually the needle stops, and I have to use the hand wheel to eventually get through the fabric, until it finds that it's easy to sew again. Is this normal for the Featherweight? I'd like to purchase a walking foot, but I'm wonder if it would be worth it if my machine doesn't like thicker fabric?
