The fabric stopped slipping sideways. So, I don't think the problem is with the feed dogs. I removed the walking foot and reinstalled it. Still had the same problem. I'm not sure what to do next. I wonder if I need to take both the machine and the walking foot into the repair shop to have them checked. I hate to be without my machine, but . . . ! Is there something I could still do on my own, something I'm missing? I've cleaned and oiled the machine, so don't think that's an issue. Thank you for any suggestions.
