I put it down to do free style quilting and when i went to put it up it won't stay up
Sounds like the feeddogs or the feeddog lever needs to be replaced
if you want parts try
sewingpartsonline.com
premiersewing.com
sewingpartsonline does not have those parts.....i have the same problem after free motion quilting. My husband was able to set the feed dogs UP, but if you lower them again the button in the back does not bring them back up to above the needle plate.

I dropped my feed dogs and when I pushed the button to bring them back up, it wouldn't work. I did discover that when you put the button back to the up position and start sewing, the dogs come back up automatically.

Hi! Guy at http://www.sewingmachineparts.net/ always seems to have what I need. Here are a few other sites:

And finally, Brother's website: http://www.brother-usa.com/homesewing/
Good luck and let me know if this works.

Oil might help but it sounds like you don't have enough pressure on the foot. You can take the casing off where the light is and there is a screw back there that controls the tension on the pressure foot. It is not meant to be changed by anyone but a professional. I've changed the tension but it wasn't easy. If you are still interested let me know and I will try to explain.

Remove needleplate and clean out the built up lint between the teeth of the feeddogs.
When moveng from Feed Down to Up, rotate handwheel one revolution to re-engage.
If neither is a problem and your manual is of no assistance, take it to a service centre to check it out and quote.
