I'm going to send you over to the fine folks at the yahoo group "wefixit": http://groups.yahoo.com/group/wefixit/ I don't know this machine -- are the feed dogs meant to have the choice to drop or not?
Anyhow, some photos of the offending area might help the diagnostic process -- but you may need parts. I'm thinking you're missing a lock washer or something like that.
edited to add: -- is this your machine? if so, please tell them it's a Necchi brand. http://i.ebayimg.com/t/NECCHI-ALCO-SX400...
