I was sewing and it just stopped. I slipped my material out but can not raise it to finish sewing. How can I fix it?
Open machine face cover you would be able to see what happen to your presser bar. If you can raise the lever but the presser bar not response Or if you can push up the presser bar easily with your hand, the presser bar tension screw is loose. Upper part of the bar would have the tension/presser spring, press up the presser bar till you can feel enough tension to press the material then tighten the tension screw which is located behind the bar.(Most machine you can access the screw thru a small entry at the back of machine, right behind the bar itself. You may have to repeat this until the bar have enough presser to press the material. Hope this is helpful.

If you can remove the cover on the left side you will see the presser foot bar. On the bar there will be a screw that may be loose. Turn the handwheel until the needle is all the way down and lift the foot manually until just before it makes contact with the needle clamp and tighten the screw on the presser foot bar.
That should do it.

SOURCE: The feed dog is not grabbing the material or the
The little white button on the lower right front of the machine is the button that drops the feed teeth. If it is pressed in the feed teeth are down, push in a lift upward to be sure it's in the "Up" position. Then look on the left side of the machine, you'll see a dial, (NOT the dial facing you as you sit in front of the machine) make sure the red dot on the dial is lined up with the red dot on the painted part of the machine.
Finally look at the dial on the front of the machine. The one with the little button in the center of it. Put it on the number 3. If your machine doesn't feed fabric after doing what I've outlined then you need to take it in for service.

mine just did the same thing - i opened it up (you have to remove the light) and it's a small plastic piece that seems to be just glued into place to lift the pressure foot when it rotates... a bit disappointing - i will try glueing it back but i don't know if it will last for long. i am very disappointed!!!
