I wanted to use my 401A for quilting and bought a foot. It does not work. Either I have the wrong foot, or I am doing something wrong. According to the manual, I am supposed to raise the throat plate, which i did. But when I drop the lever in back, it presses the foot down too hard on the fabric and does not allow me to move the fabric. In the manual they show a darning foot that looks similar but not the same.
Years and years ago when I had my first 401A I did a lot of embroidery for our children, but i vaguely remember I used a hoop and no presser foot.
Has anyone on this board used this machine for quilting and can give me some suggestions?
