Some machines have a lever or switch that disengages the feed dogs for lightweight or fragile fabrics.

Turn it to either extreme and then see if the feed dogs hit the plate when you hand turn the hand wheel towards you. Sometimes the feed dogs or plate have been replaced and they have set the stich length so that the feed dogs won't hit the ends of the plate.

1. Did you replace the needle plate with one that had the same item #? If not, It might night be fitting quite right.
2. Did you unscrew the feed dogs at the same time? When I replace my plate, if I have had my feed dogs unscrewed, I put the screws in loosely until I set my plate because they are adjustable to fit correctly with the plate. Once my plate screws are in and tight, I tighten my feed dog screws so it fits evenly in the plate.
3.As a general rule, your the bar that holds you foot, doesn't move when you break a needle. However if you put a new foot on, it may not fit quite in the same way.
Good Luck!

Have you tried sewing with it since you "raised" the feed dogs? The feed dogs will not raise until you begin to stitch.

Perhaps something here will be helpful:

Take your presser foot off and the screws out of the plate. Lift the plate slightly and turn your stitch length regulator to the longest stitch that you use. Now set the plate back down on the feed dogs and see if it will sit evenly without binding. Loosen the feed dog screws and see if you can move the feed dogs enough to allow the plate to sit down. Now, retighten the feed dog screws and rotate the hand wheel towards you to see if they will move freely without binding on the plate. If all well, replace your plate screws and then rotate the hand wheel towards you again.

If this doesn't fix it, you may need to purchase a different # feed dog/plate. You might check to make sure that the items you purchased were meant for a Juki. Mostly they will fit different brands but sometimes it is easier to make sure that the combination of feed dog/plate is actually meant for your Juki.

The other thing you can do is to call a mechanic to readjust the machine to make these work (a more expensive option to be sure!). This has NOTHING to do with your timing. If your machine made good stitches before you change the feed dogs/plate. It should make good stitches after you change it. Timing is all to do with stitch formation and not stitch feeding. Good Luck!
