Use a practice sandwich before starting on your project. May some of this rant help you!
peace :D

On you foot the little bar at the stop that sticks out
it might need to rest on the screw where you attach it to
your machine..my even foot feed it like that on my Janome.
You might look at your manual to verify how it should be
attached. Hope this might help.

I've changed the needle twice, changed bobbins, rethreaded the machine, taken the foot off, put it back on just to make certain everything was where it needed to be and then had 2 chocolate chip cookes. LOL!! I've ordered a new foot so I'll just wait until it gets here and if that doesn't make a difference then I guess I'll have to find a repairman. In the meantime think I'll have another chocolate chip cookie. ;-)
