There has always been a slight problem with this so and so machine (I had a Singer before but was taken by the embroidery, which I have nevere used) I took it to someone who said they mended brother machines but it came back with the same problem, if not worse. Please HELP a "desperate housewife"!
When the fabric does not feed that means the feed dogs are not working & the machine needs to be checked by someone who know how to fix it
SOURCE: I have a Brother 98-Stitch
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.

The only place you can opil an ultim is inside the bobbin case and around the bushings in the front end. Do a search for Anns fix it and you will find more than you will ever need for these machines

Look for a mechanical switch that engages the lower drive mechanism.
Testimonial: "That was the trick. I knew it had to be something simple but I couldn't figure it out."

Try turning down your top tension setting a bit. If its at 4 or 5, i would turn it down to about 3 ish. Cotton thread is more brittle than polyester and rayon thread.
Hope that helps :)
