I don't know about the Singer, but I know that the darning foot for my machine is difficult to put on and if it isn't in correctly it will not work.

Any chance the needle is bent? If you put on a different foot, does the needle work with it??

It hits on the front of the hole so think I'll try your suggestion to maybe make the hole a little larger since can't figure out why it's doing that. I used it a week or so ago and it was fine.

The needle seems to be fine because it does work with the other foot.

I noticed your ID for your blog and it says you're a biker. Me too! :-D

I've taken it off and put it back on several times. I'm sure I've got it on right.

I wrote this before I knew you just used it last week, so you definitely know how to put it on.
