I have a Janome 1012 machine and it is having trouble feeding through the fabric. Especially with over about 4 layers of light weight cotton (not too thick) or just 1 layer of denim it will just stop and stitch in the same spot. The feed dogs are up. How do I fix this?

Put a piece of tissue paper (like the kind in gift bags) as the bottom layer and it will feed better.
IN case you dont have it, this is the manual for that machine www.janome.com/
Also make sure that your machine is not set to the free-motion or darning set, which disables the feed dogs. Instead, check your manual and make sure to set it back to 'regular sewing' which will engage the feed dogs so they can do their job
