What is causing the feeddog to stay in one position? feeddog will not feed the material or move the material.What can I do to correct this problem? The feeddog is not even with the plate it is below the plate. What should I do?
You may have accidentally lowered the feed dogs. Look for a toggle switch that will raise them up again. Mine is to the left of my power button.

Sounds like the machine's age is causing the lubrication to get sticky.
Try changing the pattern by moving the pattern selector around.
Take out the bobbin and remove the thread and presser foot, raise the presser lever, set the pattern to zig zag, set the stitch length to maximum and run the machine at full speed. While it's running, repeatedly press the reverse lever all the way down. Run it for at least a few minutes.
SOURCE: feeds dogs are lowered even when in the up position
Check to see if there is a bunch of thread under the needle plate preventing the feed dogs from returning to run position.
This may mean having to take the needle plate off and really looking
