I can not raise the feed dogs on my New Home Model SS2015 machine even when following instructions -- push lever in direction of arrow illustrated. Help! Thanks!!

The feed dog lever on the Babylock 5260 serger is located on the right side of the machine, near the front. It is a small lever that can be moved up or down to raise or lower the feed dogs. To raise the feed dogs, you will need to push the lever up. If you are having trouble locating the lever, you can consult the machine's manual or contact a Babylock dealer or repair technician for assistance.

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.

Can't help without knowing the make & model machine.

Some machines have a dial or lever to raise/lower the feed dogs. Others come with a plate that covers the feed dogs. Your owner's manual would have the instructions.

The Singer Imperial 7005 does not have a feed dog lever. Instead there is a feed dog cover that gets placed over the needle plate. To remove the cover, raise the needle and presser foot. Open the slide plate, then lift up the front edge (closest to the bobbin) of the cover. Then pull the feed dog cover away from the sewing machine.

See page 10 of the manual; it's page 12 of the PDF. The manual is available at the Singer manual search page: http://www.singerco.com/support/instruction-manuals . The direct link to the manual is http://www.singerco.com/uploads/download/676_7005.pdf .

I hope this helps.

Chances are, your feed dogs raise just fine, but here's the problem. In addition to raising it with the lever, button, or dial, you have to bring the hand wheel TOWARDS you (ALWAYS towards you for ANYTHING) at least one or two revolutions before it will raise and snap into place.

This is true of every machine of every model, by the way, and I have a friend that brought a brand new Brother dirt-cheap from WalMart that was being sold as defective because the feed dogs wouldn't raise. She got it home, flipped the lever, turned the hand wheel two revolutions, and . . . VIOLA! She got a perfectly good brand new machine for practically nothing!

Slide of the the little table with the accessories in.There is a feed dog adjustment lever at the back of the machine. sliding the lever to the 2 filled in arrows pointing down, will lower them and the 2 filled in arrows pointing up will raise them. The feed dogs will not rise up if you do not turn the hand wheel manually, even if the lever is slid to the right.You must make a complete turn of the wheel to raise the feed dogs.
Best wishes.

check the stitch length dial setting to see what it set on
the feed dogs job is to move the fabric so the needle can sew it
even if the feed dogs are in the up position the feed dogs may not
be working like they should and they may need to be checked.

hi! there if your feed dog does not move the fabric forward or backward,if this is so try to run machine w/o the fabric check if feed dog move on cycle,the teeth should be moving upward and downward rotation pushing action on your fabric,the teeth should come out to the plate slot of feed dog.if not adjust upward, and adjust also the presser foot of needle.if your feed dog is not moving when machine running,thre is a mechanical disengage or loosen in shuttle assymble and feeder dog mechanism they link together ubder the machine,as the shuttle move on one stroke the feeder also move also with the needle.Chesk the adjustment and link mechanism.in addition to this try to clean feed dogs by brush chips thread and fabrics sometimes stored on mechanism of feed dogs and shuttle.

Are you talking about the feed dogs or the presser foot. Either way, if you moved a lever to lower them, there is probably a screw that either fell out or has become loose that holds the linkage to the lever.

Remove extension table/accessory box by gentle pulling it away from machine. You are left with just the free arm. In the back of the free arm, lower left corner, you will fine the feed dog lever. Push the leaver to the right to lower the feed dog.Instructions for lowering and raising the feed dog are on page 48 of your owner's manual. Good luck!
