Once both feet are moving freely (doing whatever that takes), loosen the big screw on the back joint, lower the needle until it is just above the level of the throat plate and feed dog, then push the inside foot down to just hit the plate, and tighten the big bolt to lock it in place. This setting usually gives the best ratio of lift between the inside and outside feet.

Got the walking foot to move slightly. Messing with the screws. Just doesn’t look like it’s lifting up enough when moving. Trying to get some test stitches in but now the bobbin hook isn’t moving.

So far got the bobbin out of the case and can’t seem to find any thread jammed but still can’t get the hook to move while I move the wheel

Safety clutch (if your machine has one) tripped? 

Loose grub screws on the shaft driving the hook shaft?  Look under the machine to see what is moving or not.

Maybe it's time to take it to a repair shop.

So far what I’ve seen is the gear that’s moves the hook slightly moves as the hook does while I turn the wheel. Only moves a bit doesn’t fully rotate

Believe I got the safety clutch working, did a test stitch and it was feeding well. It’s currently jamming badly in the bobbin after the first few stitches (gnarly bird nesting) so I believe I’m getting somewhere. Will update.

It seems to be feeding properly, but the bobbin isn’t locking stitches.
