Sounds like the presser foot holder is bad, get a new one.

Check if your machine has a presser foot pressure adjustment. Most machines do. It sounds like the pressure on your machine is set to the minimal or it is malfunctioning.

ADJUSTING THE PRESSER FOOT PRESSURE

Adjusting the presser foot pressure on your sewing machine

We have a sewing machine that was manufactured by Janome. It is a New Home Deluxe Model. It has very little travel on the pressure foot itself versus other sewing machines. I have learned just by using this machine.... If you need to get the foot up high...all you have to do is reach through and grab the pressure foot and while picking it up(not the lever but the foot itself) turn it clockwise just a touch and it will stay up plenty far enough to get larger or thicker material under it to sew. I hope this helps. Thanks and remember "Be Easy!" Neighborsboy

sorry can't help you there may be you need it check by a sewing machine mechanic may be a screw is lose and need to be tight.

Have you checked the screw on the side that holds the holds unit in place.? If not, tighten that. :)

take off side plate and loosen pressure ft screw . it should snap down. make sure the foot stays align wit the needle. u want the foot slot with needle in ctr.

Grasp the presser foot bar and pull it down. It is likely that the loose bar has jumped off of the cam on the lever. you'll need to figure out how to get in there and tighten it or replace a broken lever.

Good luck.

it sound like the feed dog & the presser foot need to be adjusted
so they work togeather,,it's very possible they need to be timed
a sewing machine repair shop can tell you for sure

Make certain that the foot is firmly attached to the bar. If that is the problem (it won't stay in place on the bar) you may need a new or different foot.
