Is the feed dog raised into sewing position and not dropped as for darning? Feed dogs need to be in the raised position in order to pull the fabric through the machine.
If the stitch length is set too short, it will cause the fabric to barely move thereby causing the machine to stitch in one place.
Raise your presser foot and gently rotate the handwheel and watch the feed dogs. Do they rise when coming to the front of the machine, move toward the back of the machine, drop down below the needle plate, and move forward to the front of the machine again? If so, the feed dogs are working properly.
If the feed dogs never rise, they are in the dropped position for darning or free motion quilting when you would move the fabric manually.
If, on the other hand, the feed dogs do not move at all, then they are seized and you should probably get your machine serviced.
..
Mine move by hand turning wheel!
But What lever
There is a plate that moves them up and down I guess but will not stay other than where is at which is not moving feed dogs there's a button bolt on inner right also moves feed dogs but
Nothing to hold them anyplace
Help plz.
At the very back of many sewing machines, there is a switch that controls the feed dogs. The position that your feed dogs are in now are "dropped" which is best for free motion sewing, like for darning or quilting. To get to the feed dog switch, sometimes you have to remove the extension table. The switch merely raises the feed dogs or lowers them.
