SOURCE: feed dog is stuck

I have the same problem...this is a work around, not a fix. You need a small flat-head screwdriver. 1. Remove the clear bobbin cover. 2. Make sure the feed dog switch is in the DOWN position. 3. Slide the screwdriver under the feeddogs from inside the bobbin area & lift the feed dogs. 4. While holding the feed dogs in the up position, return the feed dog knob to the up position. You have to do this every time you put the feed dogs down...bummer, but I can find no broken part or adjustment that corrects this. If it's inside the machine body, I don't mess with it... I did take off the bottom plate in the feed dog area..one screw holds it.... there is nothing there to indicate a problem.

There is a white button on the front of the machine to the right - it has likely been pressed in to drop the feed. Press it in and release so the button comes out - that should solve the problem.

SOURCE: Feed Dog on Brother 270d stuck in up position

I finally figured this out. The feed dog switch in the back was not hitting anything when I moved it back and forth. There is a screw on the underside of the machine that I tightened. It seemed to do the trick. Thanks.

SOURCE: feed dogs stuck in down position

that the feed dog lever is in the up position. When the lever is in the down position, the feed dogs will show on the top if there is no pressure on them at all. Make sure that the machine makes one complete cycle to check this. Just throwing the switch does not make them come to the surface.

If this does not work, then the feed gear is broken and you will need to take it to a mechanic.

you sewing machine's feeddog is called a pressure dial it is located on the left side of your sewing machine at the top above & to the left of the take up lever, it's a little dial it will have numbers on it, & possible a d on it for darning, move the dial to a number like 3 to 5 & see if it will start stitching.

How to raise the feeder on singer sewing machine 7436

The feed dog position switch is on the back of the Singer Ingenuity 7436, more or less even with the needle bar mechanism. To raise the feed dogs, make sure that the presser foot is up and the needle is at the highest point. Remove the accessory box by pulling it to the left of the machine. Turn the sewing machine around so that you can see the feed dog control lever. Push the lever down (towards the sewing table) and then move it to the right (away from the motor/control section of the machine). Turn the sewing machine around (to the normal sewing orientation) and turn the hand wheel counter-clockwise (towards you), until you hear or see the feed dogs click into the correct position. Note: make sure that the bobbin winder shaft is to the left (not the far-left or right positions). If this doesn't work, then there is probably a broken part in the feed dog or its lift mechanism. The machine needs to be repaired.

The directions to raise the feed dogs are shown in the manual on page 12. The current link to the manual is https://www.singer.com/sites/default/files/product_manual/SINGER%207436%20INGENUITY%E2%84%A2%20Sewing%20Machine.pdf . Many Singer manuals are available from the support page: https://www.singer.com/support . You don't need to enter the full model number to find the manuals. Include any leading letters and some of the numbers in the model number. Leave off any letters at the end of the model number.

I hope this helps.

Kenmore Sewing Machine Model 385.16221 feed dog is stuck down,m the lever just does nothing. It lowered feed dog, then was useless when I went to raise it to position.

your machine will have a flip type opening at the very front of your machine above the area where the needles are attached to the arm that moves up and down ( it usually has the light globe installed in there ) after opening that door you will see where the dog feed is attached to it should also have a spring that helps the dog feed return to the up position when not in use , make sure it is not stuck in any way and some lubrication oil should be used to prevent it from sticking , while using the dog feed release button push the spring in a up and down motion to help it to dislodge

Feed dogs are stuck in down position

The dial for that is usually underneath the machine and because it is not used very often it either gets stuck and won't slide or it may get loose and slide to the " lowered feed dog position" on its own.

Singer 758 model and the material is not feeding through the machine. Needle is only going up and down in one spot.

here is a link for a free manual, check to see if the feed dog lever is up in the sewing position, if the feed dog lever is down then try to raise it up. if it will not raise then the machine needs to be check to see what's wrong with the feed dog.

I have a futura CE-200. The feed dog is stuck in the down position. The switch will not work. Is this something that I can fix?

I had the same problem with my Singer machine. The lady in Hancocks told me that when you begin sewing the feed dogs will pop back up. Just rotate your wheel and see if that fixes it.
