Uneven stitching vintage japan zig-zag need help.

It seems the fabric is getting stuck on the feed dogs but I don't think that is it. I would be very grateful for any help and or suggestions. I would like to get this beautiful machine working right. It is so pretty and shows almost no signs of use. Which as I am typing this may be a sign that this is an issue since new...... ------ Yvonne proud owner and user of 2 singer 15-91s and one Singer Tiny Serger

I have not tried more than one layer of anything. ------ Yvonne proud owner and user of 2 singer 15-91s and one Singer Tiny Serger

That said, a lot of the Japanese machines have a lever to raise or lower the feed dogs, and some even have three settings. Make sure the feed dogs are set on the highest setting.

I will try again with feed dogs high and 2 layers and report back. ------ Yvonne proud owner and user of 2 singer 15-91s and one Singer Tiny Serger
