Dang or darning foot
I am a little ashamed to be posting this, I have been sewing and quilting for a very long time and quiet a few quilts under my belt. My sewing machines range from very old to very new, 10 total. They all sew very well.
Now to show how stupid I really am, here is my question.
When I put the darning foot on any of my sewing machines, they forget how to sew! ( can't be me!) The needle goes down but only picks up the bobbin thread once in awhile, maybe once out of 10 or 20 stitches! I put the feed dogs down or cover them. I tried 3 different hopping or darning feet and they all work the same. What the heck? I'm at my wits end. I have a lot of Christmas quilting and sewing.
I do have one machine that will sew with the darning foot, it is a Singer Futura 250 Embroidery machine. But the harp space is too small to do any real quilting.
Can anyone please help? And yes I did re-thread the machine, many many times.
I can't help to feel so stupid!
