[QUOTE=J Miller;7032175] I also just ran into such a situation. My blue Dressmaker clone likes to twist the fabric too. Especially the bottom piece in a sandwich. [QUOTE]
Yes, especially the bottom piece in a sandwich. And if that bottom piece tapers to a very sharp point, it's pretty hard to get it to stay in place. I checked my feed dogs and presser foot just now. The foot seems to come down OK as far as I can tell, but the strange thing is: the feed dogs usually are two or three pieces. On this machine they are one piece in the shape of an upside down U. The left side is a little longer than the right side, but most dogs are that way. They are a little wider than most also.
