Singer 99
#4
I've heard someone say that you can put like masking tape over feed dogs etc. I have a 99 that I just LOVE LOVE LOVE and I ask the same question. I have 5 machines and NONE will drop the feed dogs, 2 are Brothers, 2 are vintage Singers and one a vintage Kenmore.

Find an old buttonholer, they almost always come with a cover for the feeddogs that screws down over it, I can usually find them at thrift stores or antique malls for pretty cheap.
You can also tape a 3 x 5 filing card over them, I've heard, but not tied it myself.

masking tape probably wont work that well-because the feed dogs move back and forth---and it will just tear- work off-
you could tape a file card- or credit card (one of those free-b's that come in the mail ---over them- or you can purchase a silicone slider to use over them- but i would think a file box card would work fairly well- much better than just tape-
