Fabric getting stuck on the feed dogs during sewing is often caused by incorrect tension settings, a dull or bent needle, improper threading, or using the wrong needle type for the fabric.
Here’s a more detailed breakdown:
Needle Issues:
Dull or Bent Needles: A dull or bent needle can drag on the fabric, causing it to bunch up and get caught in the feed dogs.
Wrong Needle Type: Using the wrong needle type (e.g., a sharp needle for stretch fabric) can also lead to problems.
Needle Size: Ensure you are using the correct needle size for your fabric.
Tension Issues:
Incorrect Tension: Improper tension settings, either too tight or too loose, can cause the fabric to bunch up and get caught.
Bobbin Tension: Ensure your bobbin tension is correctly adjusted.
Threading Problems:
Incorrect Threading: Make sure your machine is threaded correctly, following the manufacturer’s instructions.
Thread Jam: A thread jam can also cause the fabric to get stuck.
Other Issues:
Poorly Wound Bobbin: A poorly wound bobbin or a bobbin that’s not properly inserted can cause fabric bunching.
Feed Dog Issues: If the feed dogs are not working correctly, the fabric won’t move smoothly through the machine.
Fabric Type: Some fabrics, like very thin or stretchy fabrics, can be more prone to getting stuck.
Presser Foot Issues: Make sure the presser foot is installed correctly, as an incorrectly attached foot can lead to feeding issues.
Debris: Check for any debris or lint around the feed dogs and bobbin area.
I hope you get a lot of value from this.
