The "feed dogs up" allows for the sandwich to be compressed as the needle is on the upstroke to eliminate flagging and dropped stitches. This functions much the same way as a hopping foot one might normally use. The drop position is actually for darning.
Yes, a longarm doesn't have feed dogs but it controls the layers with a "hopping" presser foot, much the same as feed dogs up.
