If the fabric you are sewing keeps getting caught in the sewing machine feeder (or "eaten by the sewing machine"), after you cut it out, I would suggest taking a few preventative measures:

  • When you are sewing narrow seams, keep the speed very low. Don't press on the pedal too hard, and don't try to sew too quickly.
  • If you have a serger, serge your fabric edges first. This will reinforce the edges, and keep stray threads from getting caught in the feeder.
  • If you don't have a serger, trim the edges, and make sure there aren't any loose fabric threads that could get caught in the feeder.
  • Iron your fabric. This will keep it from crinkling up and catching in the feeders.
  • If you can, move your needle as far to the right as possible. This will allow you to sew with the entire presser foot on the fabric, which will stabilize it.
