Why is the cloth not feeding smoothly through my Janome 6260QC Sewing Machine?

  Amber FoleyAug 12, 2025
  The cloth may not feed smoothly because the feed dog is packed with lint, the stitches are too fine, or the feed dog is not raised after "drop feed" sewing. If the stitches are too fine, make the stitch longer.
