Now that iis interesting....multiple positons for the feed dogs. I think feed dogs ares my problem after reading so many things here. there are just two feed dogs, one beside the other, two in the front, 2 in the back. Front are short, back are longer I think it isn't enough to pull the bulk of the quilt and I didn't know presser foot could be adjusted. I'll look at my manual for that.
