Leah asked:

I wonder if anybody could help.? I have only recently taken up sewing and am really keen to try quilting.? I have made little sample blocks to practice free motion quilting but my machine can't seem to cope with doing anything other than going straight up or straight down.? I have bought the correct free motion foot for my machine which works much better than a cheaper one I purchased to start with.? I think my problem is I cannot drop my feed dogs.? I do have a plastic plate to cover them but this shifts out of place and I have broken two needles so far because of this.? I have tried taping it down with masking tape but this just seems to restrict the movement of the fabric.? Any tips?? Really don't want to invest in a new machine as mine is great other than this.? Thanks in anticipation.
