Hello, I've been using this machine for a couple of months now and loving it. My confidence in sewing is growing and I would like to try some freehand embroidery, however I haven't done any for over 10 years and certainly not with this machine! There's no guidance in the manual, and I have tried lowering the feed but the material just won't budge at all if I do that. Also, I am unable to access the 2nd level of stitches (12-21). Any help on either of these subjects would be really appreciated! Thanks, Sam

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."
SOURCE: stitching loose. won't thread the fabric
try to rethread the machine all the way back to the spool of thread and check the top and bottom tensions on scrap of same fabric
