This may not be the right place to ask this but I have a Kenmore sewing machine and I can't tell if the feed dogs are up or down. It has a minus (-) and a plus (+) but I don't know which is up or which is down. How do I tell. It sews with it both ways.
Thank you.
Thank you.

I have one machine where it doesn't have the feed dog down position, and one that does. The one that does has a switch on the back side of the machine, close to the table. Check there on yours, or your owner's manual!

If your feed dogs are down they will be recessed down in side of the throat plate . If they are sticking up and feeding the fabric thru then they are up. The feed dogs are those little teeth under the presser foot and that's what feeds your fabric through.
