Darning foot
#1
Does anyone know why my needle would be hitting the darning foot? I've taken the foot off and put it back on many times because at first I thought maybe I didn't have it secured to the post correctly. There's really only one way the foot can go on. My machine is a Singer and I'm using the foot that came with it.

Are your feed dogs down and are you moving your quilt to fast for the needle and it is bending as you move the quilt? This can happen when the needle is not fully out of the fabric as you move the quilt around. Try slowing your motion down a bit and if you can slow the machine motor speed, try that also. Use a practice sandwich before starting on your project. May some of this rant help you!

I don't now the shape of the darning foot. Can you have the hole enlarged by grinding it on the sides or in the hole. Which side is it hitting. If in the front then cut a space in the front like a horse shoe. This is the way many did the original ones available back in the 70s
