The feed dog control is located on the
right front of the
machine bedplate .
There
are a few times when you want
to control the feeding of the
fabric
yourself .
When the control is de-
pressed on the right side, the
feed dogs
drop
and do not move the fabric .
For most
of your sewing, the feed dog
control should be in a
level position .
Whenever you raise
or lower the feed
dogs, be sure to have the presser foot
in the up position .
