    Hi and welcome from BC. I've never sewn on a featherweight but I'm sure someone here can help.

    If you like the machine otherwise, then I suggest trying a walking foot. That may help when sewing over thick seams. It it is having a problem sewing over any seams, and you are unhappy with it, then I would send it back.

    Also..the thread can give you problems too, try using machine quilting thread. J
