    Default Help with Singer 66 feed dog problem

    Was sewing along fine, but feed dogs quit pulling fabric. They jiggle up and down a bit but do not pull from front to back. We have oiled, greased and cleaned what we can but to no avail.

    What are we missing? (One note, I did twist the end to wind a bobbin) End is twisted back and needle goes up and down, but no feed dog action.

    Any help of tips to get it moving again?

    Thanks all.

    stitch length set on zero ?

    read this on about page 6 it tells you how to set feed dog height, that could have slipped.

    Not sure about zero, but will sew on smaller stitches & in reverse, so I am good to go on what I was working on.

    Thanks for giving me the idea to mess with the stitch length.
