It's driving me nuts. I haven't used the machine for years. When I first got it I taught myself how to use it from the manual and made quite a bit of stuff. Then put it away for a year. When I next tried to use it, the fabric wouldn;t feed through, I assumed it was broken, but a friend borrowed it and said it was fine. She made a few dresses on it, so it must work. I just tried again today - reread the manual, spent ages setting it up and it's not feeding through again. AFAIK the feed dogs are open, the tension is right, the stitch is the right one. I've changed the needle. I've threaded and rethreaded it half a dozen times. I just can't work out what's wrong. Any ideas?
When I sew the fabric just stays still and the thread bunches up underneath.
