Now that is a tough one to answer, open the side by the needle and pull out your bobbin and then take off the next piece, should have two swivel pieces on it ,turn them to loosen the piece, watch how it and the piece it is holding fit together as it is no fun trying to figure it out later. Then you should see some screws that hold the feed dogs on to the machine. You might try putting a washer in between the feed dogs piece and the machine to lower it. Do one screw at a time but have them both loose and see if that helps you at all.

SOURCE: Bernina 1008 feed dog problem.

Your machine needs oiling. The feeddogs are stuck. Could be in several places. You would have to remove the back and side covers to get to what needs cleaning and oiling. Especially behind that knob. Just removing the covers is a job so I can't recommend you do this unless your trained. But you can try. Don't forget the screws beneith the machine. But really, there is too much behind the handwheel for a novice to deal with. Maybe see if you can just let some sewing machine oil just run down behind the feedog knob and work it alot.
Good luck.

SOURCE: singer stylist sewing machine 534 is not stitching

Feed dog drive gear(2) are plastic and are probably stripped. Always replace them in pairs. While you are at it replace both hook drive gears as well. It will run as good as new.

SOURCE: How to Drop Feed Dogs on Sewing Machine...

On many machines you tilt the machine back on its hinges to see the underside and there you will find a thumbscrew to lower the feed dogs...you also need to be sure that your machine is capable of having its feed dogs lowered...not all machines can do this!

No, but it does come with a cover for them so you may do free-motion sewing.

Where is the switch to lower feed dogs on Singer 9005. Also for a singer 247

Many Singer sewing machine manuals are available here: https://www.singer.com/support . The Singer 9005 uses a darning plate to cover the feed dogs. This was included in the original accessories and a replacement can be purchased at many sewing machine parts vendors. As far as I can tell, the feed dogs do not lower and no darning plate was included for the 247.

I hope this helps.

How to raise and lower feed dog singer 1425n

According to the manual below, your machine is not capable of raising and lowering the feed dogs. Instead, your machine came with a cover plate that slips over the feed dogs to allow darning and free motion quilting.

Feed dog on singer m756 won't pop up

If this is a combo embroidery and sewing machine, the feed dogs have a switch to raise or lower them. If this is just a sewing machine, your feed dog linkage may be broken.

The needle moves up and down and the presser foot is lowered (and attached properly) but the fabric is not being pulled through.

Yes, there definitely could be something wrong, but there are some things you should check. Most machines are capable of raising and lowering the feed dogs; yours might be fully or partially lowered, so that while it moves, it's not far enough up to the surface to move the fabric. Using the lever or dial, LOWER it all the way, then RAISE it all the way, but you're not finished. It will still not raise until you turn the hand wheel TOWARDS you (ALWAYS towards you on every machine) at least one and possibly two revolutions. You'll then SEE and most likely HEAR it click up. I know someone who got a steal on a Brother marked defective because the feed dogs wouldn't raise, so she brought it home, turned the hand wheel two revolutions, and viola! The feed dogs raised!

Lower feed dogs

had a quick look at the manual for this at www.singer.com and I'd say your machine doesn't have the function to lower the feed dogs, many don't. It shows a darning plate which goes over the feed dogs to sew on buttons so if you are wanting to do free motion embroidery or similar, then use this plate to cover up the feed dogs.

How do I raise and lower the feed dog on my singer 8280??

On your Singer, you don't actually raise / lower the feed dog. Instead you attach a "darning plate" (which should have come with the machine) which covers the feed dogs so they do not come in contact with the fabric. See a page from the owner's manual using this link within my web site: http://www.sewvac1.com/Singer3080_Feed_Drop.pdf
