Here's a picture. You need to loosen the two screws where the screwdriver is. Then you put two fingers behind that linkage (to hold it in place), and lift the feed dogs up with the other hand. The feed linkage on these Berninas is kinda squirrel-y, so you have to hold the linkage behind the screws. Then pray that the old oil hasn't frozen them in place too much. When the needle plate/throat plate is on, the feed dogs should be high enough, but the valleys in the teeth should be a even with the needle plate. Tighten one screw to hold it in place while you put the needle/throat plate back on to check your height.
