Hey thanks. I will try your suggestions today. I looked behind the hand wheel where the lever connects to the slide and it seems to move freely. I only gave the linkage to the dogs a quick look but I was getting a movement in the linkage as I moved the lever. When I checked the dogs there was a definite change in the length of movement in the travel of the dogs. I will check the teeth again but I did clean under the dog plate. I did get some lint out of the area but still the stitch length is to short. I can’t lengthen the stitch but I can still shorten it.
thanks for helping. I really have no idea.
