Is the bobbin thread breaking or is it just not stitching at all? The tension on the bobbin might be the issue but concerning the problem with your feed dogs I'd imagine the thread is breaking.Hey, machine experts, what am I doing wrong? I can't make this machine keep the bobbin thread going. I can get it to pick it up after a couple of tries, then it sews without it. This is free motion, not regular stitching, which worked fine...until the feed dogs then refused to come back up. Geez.
I've checked the bobbin hook timing and it seems correct to me. And now, after messing with this machine all day long, the feed dog lever quit working. It's cheap plastic and I think I heard something snap while shifting them back up so now, they're stuck in the down position. This machine was new from a dealer, a customer return, about two years ago, I guess. I used it a little to piece and then, I put it away and just now started it again. Have to learn to use it all over again and I'm pulling out my hair! I guess I have to find a repair guy now. This is so dumb, I swear. I've changed the needle, bobbin, checked the winding and threading, changed the thread, etc. I can't figure it out. I'm ready to buy another straight stitch mechanical machine like my Brother 1500 again. Thought about the Baby Lock Jazz 2, but that thing seems loud and vibrates at high speed from what I've seen. Still, I can get a good deal on it.
