Broken feeder plate - Yamata FY700 Mechanical Sewing Machine

Looks like you tried to post a serial number and it was redacted by the site scripts because it looks like a phone number.

The serial number is NOT needed, but the make and model certainly is and you didn't include that! Your parts will be in these pages.

For future reference 'make model (what is is); first three words please :>D

Not knowing this exact model or your history with this specific machine, I'll just toss out the following info.

If feeder dogs are not stepping, none of the following applies to your problem. Otherwise;

I believe the 1425 does not have dog up/down selection, therefor it uses stitch length zero (or about) to keep the feeder dogs below the needle plate when embroidery/darning.

Assuming feed dogs are stepping (rotary reciprocation), adjust stitch length toward a longer setting. Eventually this should raise the height of the feed dog step to a point above the needle plate thereby feeding the fabric.

So if choosing a longer stitch length feeds fabric, either the feed dog height needs adjusted, or something else has caused feed dogs to be lower than normal (additional repairs).

We don't know what machine you have, but I'm guessing perhaps you dropped the feed dogs for darning. The feed dogs will still move backward, down, then forward, but in darning mode, they never rise above the needle plate to grab the fabric.

ck presser foot tension. even with sightest presser ft tension goods should feed. next ck that your feeder plate is not loose or broken. take off the plate and see if u can move the feeders with your finger. tighten screws makinf sure the needle is centered inthe feeder plate hole. if this is not the problen then youe=r feeder plate teeth are too low or worn out. look up how to raise the feeders. the should be 1/8" above plate.

take the plate off that covers the feeder dogs, sometimes those screws come loose

here is a link for a free manual see if it has the information in it
about the feed dogs, some machine have a lever to adjust the
feeddogs and some don't

Are the feed dogs disengaged? Look for a slide switch or button on the back or on the front near the sewing area.

it would really be a good idea to have the machine serviced at a sewing
machine shop

Huskies are the Best! Please remove the feeder plate - under the needle, and look for any fabric still jammed. Remove any way you can - small screwdriver, nail-file. (It will take removing a small screw or two.) Unless you find metal parts, broken bits, you did not break anything. Removing bunched fabric should do it.
On the other hand, if you do find broken parts - Viking is Amazing! They can machine broken parts of sewing machines and guns, back before 1900! Love them! Just remove any parts related to where fabric cound be jammed, remove all you find, and try again.

I took off the foot, plate and where the bobbin is kept. Cleaned it out and there was a thread that was caught there. I put it back together and it worked fine.

Thank you
