feed dogs
#1
I was wondering if any one can help me with this question. I have an old sewing machine where the dog feeds don't automatically go down. I've read where it's suggested to put tape or a business card over them which is fine but that covers up the hole that the needle needs dip down into when your wanting to to FMQ. Can someone clear that up for me. I'm new at quilting and am puzzled. Thanks a bunch.

You can cut or punch a hole where the needle goes. Put the card where you want to tape it and barely poke the card with the needle. Then take it out, punch a hole where the little poke is, and tape it on.

To cover the feed dogs on old Singer machines, I use the feed cover plate that comes with the old Singer buttonholers. The buttonhole attachment needed the feed dogs covered as it had to follow the cam that had been inserted in the buttonholer. The provided plate attaches with a screw and works perfectly on my featherweight.
